The story immerses readers in a society fraught with social conflict and the rise of flying technology, primarily through the character of Irene, who represents a younger generation questioning societal norms. As tensions escalate due to socio-political upheaval and class struggles, the narrative explores the implications of these changes on both personal and collective levels. At the start of the tale, we are introduced to Irene and her mother during a social gathering, where they engage in discussions about the unprecedented advancements in flying and changing societal values. Irene's dynamic personality shines as she challenges traditional views, particularly regarding the role of women and their potential in societal change. Meanwhile, the conversation reflects broader issues such as taxation, class disparities, and the consequences of a government that favors the elite, setting the stage for the social conflict that permeates the story. The opening chapters vividly establish the context of this "social war" and the character dynamics that will carry through the narrative.
