Le Guin, The Guardian, UK).On election day in the capital, it is raining so hard that no one has bothered to come out to vote. The politicians are growing jittery.

But when the ballots are counted, more than 70 percent are blank.In response to this mass act of rebellion, a state of emergency is declared. But are the authorities acting blindly?

A police superintendent is put on the case.What begins as a satire on governments and the dubious efficacy of the democratic system turns into something far more sinister.
