About this listen

 The Great War has come to an end, and England finds itself in a new era of peace. But what led to such devastation, if not sheer folly? And what, if anything, can intelligence do to avert future conflicts? Enter the newly established Ministry of Brains, tasked with curbing foolish unions and imposing taxes on the unwise offspring of the nation. Yet, will the public accept such drastic measures? Can the natural desire for unrestrained love be stifled—both in the bustling townships of England and within the very halls of the Ministry?
