Imagine an island off the coast of the eastern United States, that, in 2013, doesn't have electricity or cars. The people on this island are ruled by The Book, written hundreds of years ago, which dictates all that the people should and shouldn't do.
The people are austere and puritanical - all that they do must have some function or purpose. People are named after their profession - they are Carpenters, Bakers and Tanners.
Everything that doesn't have a purpose, is rejected. Creating something that doesn't have a purpose, is reason for banishment to the mainland.
Humans have created beautiful, non-functional things for thousands of years - how do you suppress that desire? What happens when a Tanner actually prefers to Bake?
An interesting read!
