And thus, the setting for a very interesting look into the human psyche and how we handle prohibition of a basic human right and a biological need.
In order for this scenario to work, they’ve brainwashed women into thinking these life-like robot children are real. Carole tried to make this situation work for her, but she is absolutely horrified at the thought of having a robot for a child. She needs to have a baby, a real baby. She lures Russ into the decision, and the rest of the story is a suspenseful ride as the constant threat of discovery hangs over their heads. The end will produce a tear or 2, but I’ll let you decide if it’s happy or sad ones.
This world in The Edict is pretty damn sad, but there is a silver lining through the smog. It’s an engrossing dystopian plot that challenges the reader to think about how they would feel in Carole and Russ’ situation…how it would feel to have the most important and primal human right…eliminated. I first read this book about 15 years ago. My mother introduced me to it and we loved to sit around and talk about it. I bought the book for my husband for his birthday last year and I decided to pick it up again. I am glad that I did. It is still as good as I remember. This book is out of print, but you can likely find a copy in your library, or a cheap used copy online. ( )
