Justice Systems in Quantum Parallel by Lettie Prell

I liked this one.

A person is in a prison cell waiting for his sentence to be imposed.

While waiting he drifts in and out of lucid dreaming states where he explores other possible judicial systems.

The exploration of the topic is relevant for our time, or any other really.  We are at a crossroads on this planet where humans will have to re-imagine absolutely everything, from how we drive and fly to how we power our economies.

When we reengineer our societies many of the social norms may come into scrutiny.  What other ways are there to judge those that have committed a crime?  What if we changed the definition of some crimes?  What if the victims had direct influence in punishment?

Fascinating topic.

Ad well told too.
