The Consolidated City States of America (CCSA) were a carve out. Still part of America, but different from America. Instead of whole states with different pre-constitutional laws, the twenty first century settled for city states with extra-constitutional authorities limited to specific geographic areas. These labs of democracy appeared likely to fail unless they embraced innovative social policies - policies designed to realize the goal of universal income and improve the CCSA's financial outlook. Would the policies transform society in ways no one anticipated? The story encompasses ethical questions taken from today's headlines with a novel use for ancestoral DNA testing.
