Summary "The Way of Decision" by M. C. Pease is a science fiction narrative written in the early 21st century. The book explores themes of social structure and family dynamics through a speculative lens, particularly focusing on the concept of clans as a new form of social organization in response to modern economic and social realities. The storyline revolves around the challenges faced by a clan as they consider admitting a new member, Marcia Graves, and the implications of this decision on their way of life. In the narrative, Tom Vord, the unacknowledged leader of the clan, must grapple with the potential admission of Marcia, a woman from a traditional background, into a community that operates on different principles. As discussions unfold among clan members, contrasting views emerge regarding the motivations for Marcia's inclusion—some see it as an opportunity to secure a lucrative contract with her father’s company, while others worry about the impact her presence might have on their established dynamics. Key characters such as Ricky, who advocates for accepting Marcia for economic gain, and Sandy, who emphasizes the importance of adaptability, contribute to the debate. Ultimately, the clan must navigate their values, priorities, and fears as they decide whether to embrace change or preserve their traditional structure, leading to a fundamental decision about their future together.
