Merking

Samhugaprógvið er ein kollveltingarkend tøkni. Kanningar staðfesta, at tað er merkingarberandi samsvar millum andsamfelagsligan atburð og tað at vera máld ella máldur undir lágmarki á mátistokkinum hjá samhugapróvnum. Allir einstaklingar hava í boði at fara til próvtøku, og um royndin er staðin merkja seg í eina almenna protokoll hjá Sálarfrøðingafelagi Íslands og soleiðis prógva fyri samfelagnum, at tey eru álítandi. Oddafólk og ráðandi persónar hava noyðst at merkja seg, ein fyritøka fyri og onnur eftir velur at merkja seg, og nýggir býlingar spretta, har sum ómerkt ikki hava atgongd.

Íslendska tjóðin er klovin, onnur helvtin vil hava tryggari samfelag, hin helvtin rættvíst samfelag. Høvuðspersónarnir í skaldsøguni Vetur, Oya, Ólavur og Tristan, hava øll noyðst at laga seg til tað nýggja siðalagið, og fyri framman er tjóðaratkvøða um, hvørt merkingarskylda skal vera lógarbundin.

The Empathy Test is a revolutionary technology. Research has confirmed that there is an identifiable correlation between anti-social behaviour and having measured below the threshold of the Empathy Test.

All individuals are free to take the test, and, if they pass, to be marked in the public register of the Icelandic Psychologist Association, thereby proving to society that they are reliable citizens. Leaders and other powerful individuals have had to mark themselves, businesses are marking themselves, and new districts are emerging that the unmarked do not have access to.

The Icelandic nation is divided. One half wants a safer society and the other a just society. The main characters of the story, Vetur, Oya, Ólavur and Tristan, have all had to adapt to the new ethos, and a national referendum lies ahead, which is going to determine whether the Empathy Test is to become mandatory.
