El crimen más peligroso de 2090 no es matar. Es saber leer. En el Sector 90, una sociedad perfecta no persigue culpables: persigue anomalías. Y cuando aparece un objeto imposible —un libro— el sistema no se enfurece… se ajusta. Nadie recuerda el día exacto en que las letras desaparecieron. No hubo decretos. No hubo hogueras. No hubo advertencias. Solo una actualización invisible que dejó la ciudad funcionando “igual”: pantallas encendidas, sectores numerados, protocolos estables… y un silencio optimizado.

His tendency to let his fists do the talking might have a little something to do with that. I couldn’t remember ever hearing anything good about him. In fact, had I not gotten a flat tire outside his house one blistering afternoon, I might not have known he had another side. A side that made me wonder whether the good in him outweighed the bad. It didn’t take long to see he was kind and funny and maybe even sweet. But … I’m not allowed to ...

I have recently published upon the same subject a work entitled The Analytical Theory of Probabilities. I present here without the aid of analysis the principles and general results of this theory, applying them to the most important questions of life, which are indeed for the most part only problems of probability.
