Big business is certainly flourishing and state institutions are thriving because of advances in genetic engineering, that have produced a compliant population clear of addictions. Violent criminal offense is currently a rarity. Mayhew McCline, a significant corporation that analyzes global trends, has hired a genius: Jayna. An excellent mathematical modeler, she has the ability to produce accurate predictions that are both best for the world and good for the bottom collection. Her most recent coup: finding a connection between northeasterly winds and violent crime. Whenever a string of occasions contradicts her forecasts – including a multiple homicide on the wrong time – Jayna suspects she needs even more data and better intuition. She must understand what it means to become “normal,” so she disrupts her rigid day to day routine and, unknowingly, models herself on a path that leads to brand-new encounters, new experiences, and – perhaps most dangerous – new feelings.
