The story is set in distant utopia where there is no disease, no death, everything is perfect, so the jobs to make it better than perfect is just a facade.

Since there is no death and people, after turning the corner (I guess a certain age), they can reset themselves to younger age (not younger than 21). Even if they die, they can be revived to life. In that world, thunderhead (cloud-machinery) took over everything to ensure balance in everyone's life including basic needs, comforts, etc, etc.

Pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this book. I went in completely blind, and while it was a bit of a slow start, it really got going towards the end and I am looking forward to reading book 2.
