Final Solution

Synopsis

What was the Kiley proposal? and why was its author reluctant to take credit for it? This chilling tale begins in a familiar way--a university and a riot--but this time the riot is successful, and a new epoch begins. Robert Kiley, a member of the faculty, sees the change as a giant step forward, and lends his name to the programme to carry it out. But his efforts bring him more than he has bargained for, and it becomes necessary for a colleague to place him in a state of suspended animation to save his life. Waking years in the future, Kiley finds he is still on the campus, the spiritual leader of the people. The university has become the world, the old world a barren wasteland where none dare venture. Kiley's problem is that he cannot understand the world he is living in.
