Description

'Absolutely stunning.' Hernan Diaz'Brilliant.' Mariana Enriquez'A masterpiece.' Kaveh AkbarThe Icelandic Psychological Association has prepared a test.

They call it a sensitivity assessment: a way of measuring a person's empathy and identifying the potential for anti-social behaviour. In a few days' time, Iceland will vote on whether to make the test compulsory for every citizen.

The nation is bitterly divided. Some believe the test makes society safer; others decry it as a violation. As the referendum draws closer, four people - Vetur, Eyja, Tristan and Ólafur - find themselves caught in the teeth of the debate.

Each of them will have to reckon with uncomfortable questions: Where do the rights of society end and the rights of the individual begin?

When does utopia become dystopia?No matter which side wins, they will all have to find a way to live with the result.
