"Tomorrow Town" is a short story written in 2000 by Kim Newman, and one of the many to feature his 1970s glam rock psychic detective Richard Jeperson, agent of the Diogenes Club.Tomorrow Town is a futurist's paradise. A sparkling 1970s idea of what the the 21st century will be. There are Food Pills, robots, a building-scale Master Computer, and definitely no crime.And then the founder gets murdered. Crap.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Since the British government has a lot of futuristic ambition — not to mention money — invested in the town, they send their top investigator, Richard Jeperson, and his assistant Vanessa along to investigate exactly what went wrong.

Bureaucratically Arranged Marriage | |
| Tomorrow Town / int_c9993b95 | comment |
Bureaucratically Arranged Marriage: One of the tropes invoked in Tomorrow Town, with the Big Thinks computer matching compatible people. There is suspicion that the process isn't as objective as it's supposed to be, particularly after Varno Zhoule was matched with a woman who wasn't interested in him and was in fact already married to another man — who is now the chief suspect in Zhoule's murder. | |

Abilene Paradox | |
| Tomorrow Town / int_cf3af21a | comment |
Abilene Paradox: In the end, the only reason Zhoule remained in power was that almost everybody else was too afraid to step up and collectively eager to try to make things work. | |
