The Waiting Room is a room somewhere in a building in a dystopian or totalitarian state, and though there are a number of people in the waiting room, the focus of the book is on only three of them - two of whom can see nothing wrong with the society in which they live, and a third who despairs of the enormous changes to his way of life. Each of these three people experiences his or her present situation in the light of what has happened in the past - individual experiences and perspectives that join together to create three different interpretations of what the future may hold. Is one of these interpretations right and the other two wrong, or are they all right or all wrong? To what extent does perception mould belief, and is there any connection between what we believe to be true and the reality that we call life?
