Synopsis: In this world, men are Men who must constantly study and take Examinations in Philosophy. A woman's existence is driven by capturing a Man which is "The Goal of Life;" she must support him working in hazardous factories, often being injured. "An outsider male who is not part of the exam system hooks up with a woman and they have a secret child and demonstrate strange, illicit tenderness in a world devoid of any." (Marc Nash)
