More DescriptionHave you ever taken a Multiple Choice test and find that every possible answer is wrong?High School teacher, Alex Trotter, seriously suspects that there is something wrong with multiple-choice tests, and not just in how they are created or graded. They seem to be shaping the way people think, making life a matter of choices instead of free thought, where the best possible scenario is to choose the least worst answer. From the SAT test to the menu at a coffee shop, people are trading thought for choice every day.When Alex is given documents found in the National Archives that suggest that there has been a centuries-long conspiracy to subdue free thought into choices, this public school teacher gets caught in a whirlwind of discovery, danger and even murder that all leads up to a most crucial courtroom trial over our right to freedom FROM choice.
