The Barons of Behavior

Ralph Nicholson, psychotherapist to a psyched-out world, had discovered a terrible secret. Martin Boyd and his political machine were controlling all of Windham County by playing upon every psych technique in existence. Nicholson had only one way to combat Boyd's machine and, incidentally, save his own life. Ralph Nicholson must build a better psycho-political machine to make the world safe for humankind's collective mind. But Nicholson faced an established monster, and his only weapons consisted of his brain, his computer, his wife and finding the right dark horse candidate to be the puppet on his psychological strings. While Nicholson searched and computed, Boyd's machine was grinding ever closer to a final printout of humankind's destiny.
