The New City

In 1937, Nathan Fialko, a Belarusian psychiatrist living in the USA, published The New City, a dystopian novel in which he criticizes the possible evolution of Russian Bolshevism, and at the same time worries about the rise of Nazism. In the distant future, society is pacified, but individual freedoms are reduced to a minimum. The most important thing for an individual is to be regular. But what happens when a scientist finally decides to behave irregularly? And why does he do it?
