Facial Justice

Facial Justice

L.P. Hartley
3.4/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
The dystopian society that emerges after World War Three is based on a collective sense of guilt. Citizens of this new world, officially labelled 'delinquents' by their Dictator, are named after murderers and are obliged to wear sackcloth and ashes. Individualism is stamped out. Privilege, which might arouse envy, is energetically discouraged.

Thus it is no surprise to find Jael 97 reporting to the Ministry of Facial Justice. Being facially overprivileged, her good looks have been the cause of discontent among other women, and she has considered having a beta face fitted.

But this affront to her ego stirs her rebellious spirit, and she begins the struggle to reassert the rights of the individual.
