The psychic and two others have been tasked by the government to look into the future and see how new technologies may impact society. Based on the psychics' visions, the government will decide whether to pursue those technologies or seek alternative advances. The psychic is asked to analyze how an aspect of society would be different if a technology from one of three short stories ("Marionettes, Inc.", "Doesn't Everyone Have a Solar?", or "Harrison Bergeron") was implemented, focusing on a small facet like hospitals or schools rather than whole social infrastructure.
