The story, In Blue, presents a dystopia based on a complicated system called "act field theory," which attempts to predict actions and events from masses of information stored in a computer. Hare, the central character of the short story, is dissatisfied with a society based on act field theory, a world in which all events have been accounted for. Eventually, Hare embraces a new, less comfortable, role as historian, sketching the pre-revolutionary buildings of the old order.
