In this story we encounter Leonard Mead, a citizen of a [[television]]-centred world in the year A.D.2053. In the city, roads have fallen into decay and people only leave their homes during the day. It is revealed that Mead enjoys walking through the city during the night, something which no one else does. On one of his usual walks he encounters a robotic police car. It is the only police unit in a city of three million. The police car struggles to understand why Mr. Mead would be out walking for no reason and decides to take him to the Psychiatric Center for Research on Regressive Tendencies.

This story demonstrates certain similarities to [[Fahrenheit 451]], particularly in the analogous characters of Leonard Mead and [[Clarisse McClellan]].

A limited edition (291 copies) of the story was published as a chapbook by Roy A. Squires in 1964.

It was also made into an episode of ''[[The Ray Bradbury Theater]]'', starring [[David Ogden Stiers]] as Leonard Mead.
