The Future'S Coming Everywhere

Two thematically linked stories. In Candice - echoing Voltaire's Candide, a disillusioned idealist and world traveller, and Zadig, the last wise, just king of Babylon - Candice sets out to find power and wisdom. In Friends, Daniele, after estrangement from her friends and lovers, realises that it is in Law that wisdom and justice must reside.
