A Dialectic in Five Illustrations

In a dystopian near-future where animal species are on the brink of extinction, a violent sociopath is interviewed by an institutional psychologist after confessing to a brutal attack. In search of a motive, the psychologist realises he must sink his teeth into the one thing that his subject finds meaningful: an obsessive fascination with animal nature and evolution.
