Kate: I know, sorry. But Johnny-Eloise-May says his dadd... um... I mean their, um... "donor" got killed in a big fight, like, when they was real little. They says their donor knew my donor, and that the two of them was tryin' to dig a hole to get outside the line. He says got killed together over in Graychurch by the S-O-P. Like, shot and stuff. He... I mean, they... they says it's because somebody told on them.

This is nothing new. Read or listen to dramatisation of The Machine Stops by E M Foster, his only scifi piece. Note this was written in 1910, over a century ago !!! (you can find various versions on YT)

More utopian unicorn dreams.
The Line, aka a linear prison.

Mom: Yes, sweetie.
Kate: What happened to daddy?
Mom: Katie! I told you to never use that word!

Line up
Toe the line
Stand in line
Out of line
Party line
Picket line
Stay in the lines
Get back in line
Draw a line in the sand
End of the line
Fall in line
Hold the line
Hook line and sinker
Behind enemy lines
Line of attack
Line of least resistance
Line their pockets
Shoot someone a line
Sign on the dotted line
Take a hard line
The finish line
The Freedom Fence is for our protection!!!
