COMING OUT IN THE FUTURE

In the newly released THE EDGE OF MADNESS (Aignos 2020) by Raymond Gaynor (search keyword phrase “the edge of madness gaynor”), one topic in particular receives considerable, yet, in my humble opinion, never enough, attention: Coming of Age, or, if you prefer, Coming Out as adult in all its various aspects. In contemporary society, becoming an adult occurs gradually from junior high school (roughly after 13 years of age) up to and even after young adulthood (roughly 21 years of age). This most important period in life, I envision in the future as centered much more narrowly around “Sweet Sixteen.”

“At some point during the pivotal SweetSixteen year, each adolescent turning adult was required to formally record his or her pros on an official government billet list in the local archives. Replacing the now extinct [proms and] debutante balls, this practice became known as ‘playing-D-Ball’. In practical terms, that meant having to choose from available government-approved cons based not only on one’s individual pros and desired con, but based on society’s needs as well. For most, that meant selecting the one available con that best applied, and accepting it’s attending billet from among the few available or the least heavily wait-listed.”

But that’s only the beginning.

“Flicking tail, his thoughts snapped back to his SweetSixteen. He had, with the help of his current custodian, identified his pros, selected a con and billet, declined Body Cellular Memory Cleansing—BCMC—a no-cost erasure by governmental specialists of all noncritical pre- and mid-adolescent body cell memories, thereby resetting body cell age to that of early childhood, theoretically adding another decade to his physical life. The fact was, he didn’t need it, having attained a level of consciousness far in excess of others his physical age. His SweetSixteen “coming out” plan was now officially recorded in the Emory-Shi Public Hall of Records as part of his coming-of-age.”

Flicking his tail????

“Slamming these last few weeks had been so successful, he had saved enough to pay for a private ARS by the best on the planet. Armed with plentiful self-interested advice from his many slamming clients and friends, Draff had booked the clinic and completed the necessary interviews and genotyping. He was ready to walk in next morning a skin-virgin and walk out with a fully working, though admittedly somewhat tender, simian tail.”
