About this book
In a future where justice is redefined, "No Substitutions" by Jim Harmon delves into a groundbreaking penal system that immerses offenders in an artificial Dreamland, allowing them to escape reality instead of facing traditional punishment. This thought-provoking science fiction short story, originally published in Galaxy Magazine, challenges the very essence of accountability and rehabilitation. As characters navigate their fantasies, the narrative raises critical questions about morality and the consequences of evading reality. Ideal for students, civic activists, and historians, this work invites readers to ponder the implications of a society that prioritizes illusion over truth. Explore the intersections of justice and fantasy in a world where the line between punishment and indulgence blurs.
