When the computers detect an unreported individualistic 9-year-old son belonging to humans, Dr. Keith Lewton and his wife, who live in Area Thirteen, undercover agent Vignor is ordered to find the boy and take him to the accommodators for brainwashing. The emotionless robots who govern society by computer in the year 2176 feel endangered by the minority of free-thinking human beings.
