The Crime, Teddy Bear

The collection includes: The Crime and Teddy Bear.
Teddy Bear. The future. From infancy, children are raised with the help of toys that explain what is good and what is bad, what is allowed and what is forbidden, and answer the little ones’ questions. Davy’s father allowed his son’s teddy bear to be reprogrammed so that it would not feel revulsion at the act of taking another person’s life.
The Crime. What laws might be invented under the oppression of overpopulation, from which it is no longer possible to escape? Benedict Vernall was guilty of the crime of giving birth to a child, exceeding the legal maximum of two children. A crowd of volunteers ready to carry out their civic duty gathered outside his house.
