Here's a little introduction to chapter 2 to get you started....
In chapter 2, Equality commits another transgression - he falls in love with LIBERTY 5-3000 and realizes that although it s a transgression to NOT BE happy, many people are not and he starts to wonder what life used to be like before the GREAT REBIRTH and what the "Unspeakable Word" is.
