Using a truth drug, chemist Leo Kall has found a way into the souls of his fellow citizens. The state's new interrogation method takes control of people. Anti-state thoughts are unmasked, all citizens are brought into line, marriages are usually entered into purely as a marriage of convenience in order to give the state children. But resistance is stirring in secret. Some people seek meaning in life beyond the official doctrine. Leo Kall also begins to doubt and question his role as a loyal fellow soldier when he develops real feelings for his wife. With the help of the truth serum, he sets out to find out if she is having an affair ... Kallocain is Karin Boye's best-known book, published in 1940, and has been translated into numerous languages and is mentioned in the same breath as Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451, and George Orwell's 198.
