From the back cover:ZhodaniEncounters with the Psionic MastersIn a culture where psionics is an accepted talent, available to all with high enough potential, the very fabric of society is changed. Those with the talent are naturally the elite those without are the proletariat. Such a society can naturally evolve to oppress the masses. But a psionic society also allows perfect communication, and can produce a better society for everyone.

The results is a psionic society where everyone is happy and content, because psionic re-education ensures the discontent are found and shown the errors of their ways. - BoardGameGeek
