If only he didn't have to work so closely with Makr, then he could be happy, he reasoned. _When Makr assigns you, you're assigned. It's not like you have a job interview. A perfect world should come with a perfect job—if one has to have one at all._

Getting Makr to approve his excursion to the Outside had been easier than he had thought. All he had said to Makr was that he could find out a lot more about the depth of sedition fomenting Outside if he could talk to Harry Bolls personally.

Harry Bolls was not going to be easy to find—especially if he had help. And he was not going to give himself up or talk willingly. He had known that from the beginning. Winston wasn't planning on the long haul, but it was looking more and more like he'd be Outside for a long time. Damn!

_Is PerSoc really worth it?_ he asked himself. When it was done, maybe it wouldn't feel like Makr was in everyone's head. _Maybe it will be as seamless as Makr's promise once we've achieved symbiosis._ He caught himself thinking so hard about Makr's PerSoc and achieving symbiosis that it depressed him. He was too smart not to have been thinking about it.
