GENTLEMEN, THIS HEADBAND BROADCASTS THOUGHTS!
The mentacom also received thoughts.
It was sort of a telepathic amplifier and radiator.
The world of the future was a world without bridges and roads -- everyone traveled in the air. But not only did it take effort to run air traffic -- but also to get rid of the needless bridges and roads.
That took a proper bureaucracy!
District Leader Howard Morely was a proper bureaucrat. He worked toward efficient operations and efficient communications. But mostly he felt superior in a class ridden society.
In any case, Morely saw the mentacom as the ultimate tool for proper office communications and so implemented the devises invented by Paul Graham.
But little did Morely realize it, but a nasty little surprise awaited him -- and his proper bureaucracy -- in the future!
