Residuals Squared
The future is wonderful. Cars are flying, nations cooperate to manage the earth's climate, and people can choose to carry all-purpose computer chips embedded under their skin. The future is also terrible. Reanimated corpses are put to pugilistic combat to entertain crowds, victims of sex crimes have no judicial or law enforcement protection, and people of conscience and vision have been hounded into the underground.
Brodt, a fledgling research analyst in his first days at an emotional wellness agency, is trying to maintain his ethical equilibrium in the face of his boss's demands that he compromise the agency's data. Sanayah, a counselor at the agency, is sexually attacked by a client. Her husband, 'Ali, finding no justice for her in the justice system, resolves to exact revenge on her attacker, a conflict in which Brodt is also entangled. When 'Ali is arrested and jailed, Brodt is forced to face his own crisis of conscience and divided loyalties.
