What Not: A Prophetic Comedy is set in a fictional post-war future, this novel explores a society where a government agency is established to regulate intelligence and manage social progress. The story delves into the absurdities and dangers of a system that prioritizes intellectual capabilities over individual freedom and creativity. The backdrop is a world shaped by the aftermath of a great conflict, where citizens are expected to adhere to strict standards of intelligence and societal roles. As the plot unfolds, it examines the clash between personal desires and societal expectations, offering a critique of a society that stifles individuality in favour of conformity and efficiency. The narrative weaves through the lives of ordinary individuals navigating a bureaucratic system that dictates their worth based on intellectual performance, reflecting on the dehumanizing effects of such control. Ultimately, it serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of overreliance on intellect and the loss of personal autonomy.
