Plot Summary of The Green Moon
"It's 2416. In this future, paper and sex have been outlawed for reasons of purity. All communication is accomplished through "mind effacers". All children are born with the help of a laboratory. Citizens communicate via government issued electronic devices. Native Americans have all land rights restored to them, and many are government officials. Shawnee Walters oversees the government run North American Mind Efface program, until the mysterious, odd talking Michael Che kidnaps her. Over the next weeks, the man with the hidden identity reveals many secrets to her (for one, he's a time traveler, and he sees tragedy from her actions if not stopped), shows her a world of people that are opposed to her carrying out her business objective, and helps the frigid but dedicated virgin to understand that sex is a beautiful and necessary thing if humanity is to survive.
"
