Summary:
Sig lives in the 'City', a city where everything is controlled by the CC, the central computer. All people are happy because all the less pleasant feelings are immediately removed. All robots in the City do all the work. And food is made from special grains. Everything in the City is nutvol, there would be a great cycle, everything is recycled. If someone dies, all memories of that person's body will be deleted and re-used in the cycle. But you get outside the city, there is 'sanction 4-f' for: immediate erasure of all your memories and all the memories of you.
If Sig on one day fall asleep on the subway and he is one of the freshest Peronne he wants to cross, but he knows he's on a track sweeper 'him in a garbage dump outside the city topples. But he is not cleared. In a panic he falls asleep. The next day he comes to one Pomfrey, who apparently had been living at the dump. Pomfrey was a crazy old man of 72 years. They are friends. Hanging in the house of Sig Pomfrey discovered all sorts of strange objects and holograms, indicating that Pomfrey a lot of the world has seen. Pomfrey intends that all Sig also showing.
Sig is impatient and wants everything immediately see. They leave immediately. On their journey to the so-called Forest, Sig does not know what, they fit well. Because there are flying and scavengers. Eyes flew his flying hats control on the dump, a sort of flying cameras with you to grab a "loop point" would bring. Here you will die and your body is included in the cycle. Scavengers are people who call the cleaner on the rail, and deleted. They want food and hunting people and each other. The forest is beautiful, Sig had never seen all those trees and plants and animals seen in the City you had not.
But according to Pomfrey they have three towers to serve the CC to speak and to convince him that the massive wall around the town road so people need to see the nature. when the forest to the so-called "more" they will be run over by a group of wild horses. Pomfrey not survive and die dramatically. Sig is now alone. But not long after, he called Flint Roller against themselves. On his way he reads the diary of Pomfrey to learn more about the City to find out. He, according to his diary with a ruse to convince the CC. So he goes to the three towers with Flint. If they have a new walk they see a garbage call robotkop are apparently still able to talk. Flint would like to make friends with the head. Flint is so stupid as it can be. He knows nothing. Sig should teach him to talk and learn to think. They discover and air scooter that best good. And the three of us to go with the three towers. But he reads the diary of Pomfrey that they lack "Production should go. A type of area. There was danger threatening it. Yet they do it. Indeed, they drop off the bottom as it were. And get a girl under the ground. Her name is Shell. And lives alone in an abandoned subway station. She tells the tale and three story and give them to eat. There was a long time ago people lived in a city and completely happy. But two idiots had the CC believes that people were out. But when the people went out it was a big mess. The story is set Sig thinking. But thought: It's just a story.
They continue their journey and arrive safely at the three towers. East tower, west tower and north tower. In eastern tower is under a rock with a note "danger" on it. That he is not. They go to sleep, but the next day sick Hork. He has a fever and sweating. Everywhere he has red spots. He appears to have measles, but they know its time has long since meer.Hij will overlook tower in west and north to find something better to get to Flint. In the west tower is a memo archive. Memos are like holograms with whom you can talk. For every person who ever was in the tower is a memo made. Pomfrey receives a memo doctor told him 'paracetamol' needs. That would be found in the northern tower, the museum of mankind.
In the museum of humanity after a long search he finds a paracetamol. But you can steal anything from the museum so he gets robots after him. He dives in a cage. Zogennaamde the Faraday cage. Robots can not see from this cage what he thinks and who he is. In this way he escapes from the museum. He gives Flint every three days asprines. In the memo he invents archives list to be cleared without: He goes to the Faraday cage inside to talk to the CC.
When he talks to the CC that the CC has the best people and just wants to delete it because it is better for him. He also wants the wall to leave because he wants to protect the mesne. If he then goes back west tower. He invents with the memos and plan. He kopelt tower east and west together with fiberglass and then take the memos on the CC boards and ultimately the city. But then too ill Sig. Yet he goes to the CC to connect them. But he does not quite close enough to the CC it must be under the Faraday cage to get him to link it succeeds it will be deleted.
Eventually he wakes up and it appears that the memos have taken over the town and that his memo memory (because of him is also a memo made) to be associated with empty body. Everything will be fine. This is a long summary, but it's a great story and a thick book!
