Sentiment, Inc.

by Poul William Anderson

In a future society where technology has advanced to the point of manipulating emotions, the novel explores the ethical ramifications of controlling people's feelings. It centers on a company called Sentiment, Inc., which specializes in engineering public opinion through emotional manipulation. The story delves into the complexities of human nature, exploring themes of free will, individual autonomy, and the potential consequences of unchecked power in a world where emotions are no longer authentic but rather manufactured.
