Note that this isn’t necessarily my favorite outcome (although I happen to like a lot of it). Part of why it’s my favorite depiction of utopia is because it does a good job of exploring the downsides.
Yeah, it seems like Jamie is pretty anti-pain, but as you see in Chapter 3, the Authority allows people to experience pain if they want to. There’s also a chapter I cut (which didn’t say a whole lot about utopia and would’ve been hard to adapt) where someone willingly offers to be tortured. I think I’m against forcing people to experience physical pain if they’d rather not?
