But even in this gentle and loving society, Ruth is an outcast because she cannot stand being linked to everyone elses mind.

As soldiers arrive to put down the rebellion, Tomi loses consciousness and slides down the chute, emerging outside the City in a rapidly flowing river. Tomi manages to escape and hide in a garbage chute. The next day, during a ceremony to honour the New Lords, the slaves rebel. Sensing Tomi's discomfort with how his friends violently reacted against the info paks, Tomi's teacher prescribes recreation at Dreamland, a fantasy computer program. Two of his close friends reject the info paks, and become a slave and a worker respectively. Many generations later, the son of one of the leading Lords of the City, Tomi, is on his Access Day, the day when he first gets to receive his final info pak, and gain total access to Arc One's computer. Knowledge has been relegated to devices called "info paks" which enable the wearer to tap into Arc One's computer to access the information. In a parallel future, the Earth has gone through an environmental disaster and subsequent "Age of Confusion." During this, a group of scientists build a great self-controlled city called Arc One to house the survivors and save all human knowledge.
