No One Knows / The Square Root of Love A book within a book. An intense story about the possible future written by a character in the present-as a confession. Matthew Lacker rises through the law enforcement ranks, then into administration and finally an appointment to Director of the CIA in 1996. After a tumultuous year he resigns amid the usual rumor and controversy. But this time its different. Matt has had an epiphany. He becomes stuck between a CIA rock and a government hard place. He goes into seclusion and writes a book-a novel. It's a 'novel about the truth'-no names but a lot of truth. The book about the future becomes a sensation and has been made into a movie. The main character, who narrates the story two hundred years in the future even has the author's name. Matthew attempts to explain it all to Charlie Rose sitting at the round table. "Why in the world use your own name?" Charlie asks. In the year 2201 Matthew Lacker is Chief of Safety for the Bureau of Safety (BoS), Abundance Urb Section. There are the Leaders and there are 'free people.' The free people are allowed to live in piece in a dense, urban environment-as long as they follow the rules. 32 rules. How did the world get like this? Matt Lacker doesn't even know. No one knows. All they know is what's in 'the flow'-the information-- flowing daily to screens all over the world from the leaders. That's the way its always been-at least as long as anyone can remember. Matt's old friend, scientist Hilliard Raven, is fine with that. So is his fellow physicist, Anya Khan. There's a lot of satisfaction pushing the limits of science-but whose limits are they? Hill Raven learns he is to be visited by his daughter, who he hasn't seen in eighteen years. Her visit and the appearance of Pearson, a young man who seems to know everything except the rules sets off a major disturbance in the flow which threatens to turn the world right-side up. Back in 2001, Matt thanks Charlie Rose for his interview and walks out into the Manhattan streets and to his hotel. Only then does he learn what his book is really about.
