Hazel had a perfectly average intelligence, which meant she couldn't think about anything except in short bursts. And George, while his intelligence was way above normal, had a little mental handicap radio in his ear. He was required by law to wear it at all times. It was tuned to a government transmitter. Every twenty seconds or so, the transmitter would send out some sharp noise to keep people like George from taking unfair advantage of their brains. <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Kurt_Vonnegut" title="Kurt Vonnegut">Kurt Vonnegut</a>, <i>Harrison Bergeron</i>, p.1</li></ul></li></ul> <ul><li>Here I had tried a straightforward extrapolation of technology, and found myself precipitated over an abyss.

It had committed suicide. It had set itself steadfastly towards comfort and ease, a balanced society with security and permanency as its watchword, it had attained its hopes—to come to this at last. Once, life and property must have reached almost absolute safety. The rich had been assured of his wealth and comfort, the toiler assured of his life and work. No doubt in that perfect world there had been no unemployed problem, no social question left unsolved. And a great quiet had followed. It is a law of nature we overlook, that intellectual versatility is the compensation for change, danger, and trouble. An animal perfectly in harmony with its environment is a perfect mechanism. Nature never appeals to intelligence until habit and instinct are useless. <i>There is no intelligence where there is no change and no need of change.</i> Only those animals partake of intelligence that have to meet a huge variety of needs and dangers.</li></ul> <dl><dd><ul><li><a href="/wiki/H.G._Wells" class="mw-redirect" title="H.G.
