Help me identify this book!
Warning, I remember very little. Something I read back in high school.
I recall sanitary workers and street sweepers, it was set in the future perhaps on another planet. I think it was a very conformist society, and I think someone got in trouble for leaving there "town"
Good luck, I would like to read it again if I could find out what it is was.
Thanks!

Wow - tough one... might need more info.
Reminds me of "Momo" by Michael Ende, but that was about folks in suits stealing time from you...
sounds in the category of utopian/dystopian book categories...
good luck.

YYYEEEEAAAHHH!!! That's it, thanks so much! Anthem, I kept thinking the name or the author started with A but they both did.
Thanks so much!
