Recently they have added top artists to add beauty and meaning to the life and society there. At first this seems like the job of a lifetime and the fulfillment of all John’s dreams. But the longer he lives there the more he questions how much freedom and privacy does he really have? What are the motives of the leaders? As he learns more, he is excited by what he is able to do but also increasingly afraid about where this is all leading.
