For the Illustration Friday group, I point out that the man's scrubs are really WRINKLED!!! In the story the hero (Michael) is an escapee from protective custody in a scientific institute in a post-apocalyptic, Utopian society (where he is being studied because of his brain's unusual ability to work as a receiver for radio waves), and naturally escapees don't usually have access to irons or dry cleaning. Also Michael's brain is his most valuable organ; WRINKLES are characteristic of maturing brains; what Hercule Poirot used to call "the little gray cells" are composed of wrinkled (and therefore imprinted with memory and knowledge) matter--thus wrinkles are an integral part of the story in two ways.
