The chapter explores a futuristic society where biological and psychological enhancements have transformed human sexuality and social norms, contrasting it with the 'reedpair' era's limitations and dangers. It follows the investigation of Bert Mayr, a socially isolated chromosartor with a controversial kink involving a device called the Blankie, which he modifies for sexual purposes and ultimately steals, prompting law enforcement to intervene. The narrative delves into Mayr's background, his deviant interests, and the broader implications of technological and social evolution on human desires and deviance.
