The World State is the perfect empire of the future. Here, in order to exercise total control over people, surveillance is openly conducted, and denunciation is the duty of every decent citizen.
Chemist Leo Kahl is a staunch supporter of the ruling regime. He develops the truth serum "kallocaine", which can reveal people's feelings and innermost thoughts. Now the traitors will be exposed one by one - the protagonist embodies the ideas of the Grand Inquisitor Dostoevsky about control. Very soon Leo begins to suspect his wife of treason and decides to find out the truth with the help of a serum. But isn't it amazing that everything in the world, even the truth, loses its value as soon as it becomes coercive?
