註釋Society is a great machine, its many parts working together to accomplish their shared goals. Parts that do not contribute to the operation of the machine have no place in it.Shevi and Jackson have accomplished the unimaginable: becoming citizens of the greatest city in the world, the capital of the corporate society. Once again, the tables have turned, putting Shevi in the more comfortable position as a mere worker in a shop that strips down old cars, converts them from gasoline to electric, and readies them to race on the track that surrounds and defines the city. Meanwhile, Jackson is to be a driver of one of the cars but is ironically too heavy and must diet. When he begins designing a new kind of racer that will flip society upside down, Shevi fears his actions will cost them the good position they've found themselves in.As a rift grows between them, Shevi comes to realize that the Capital is no better place to live than the other two components of the Trintico tripartite society. When she decides to show her fellow citizens the err of their lifestyles, she inadvertently fractures the great social machine beyond repair, leaving everyone in a dire place.
