Professor Nicholas Caritat is a scholar of the Englightenment and therefore, he reasons, a man with no role in the political struggle in Militaria, the autocratic state in which he lives. He is wrong. In the space of 24 hours, Caritat is arrested by the police, then liberated by the guerrillas of the Visible Hand. They give him the code name Pangloss and send him on a mission which only a philosopher could undertake: to find the best of all possible worlds.
