The public trial of the cosmic body Pluto strips it of its planetary status. The assembled crowd cheers. This verdict has far-reaching consequences not only for the scientific community, but also for the mental horizons of humanity as a whole.

The stripping of attributes and rights continues. Some people become non-people and settled facts become non-facts. The boundaries of definitions and their subjugation to the spirit of the age toss human knowledge about like waves in a storm.

The work indirectly relates to broader themes in the author's oeuvre. Individual lives take place against the backdrop of larger, often incomprehensible processes over which we often have no control.
