\nEight ordinary people. One extraordinary choice.
\nIt seems like any other day: Yo u wake up\, pour a cup of coffee\, and head out. But today when you open y our front door\, waiting for you is a small wooden box. This box holds you r fate inside: the answer to the exact number of years you will live. From suburban doorsteps to desert tents\, every person on every continent rece ives the same box. In an instant\, the world is thrust into a collective f renzy. Where did these boxes come from? What do they mean? Is there truth to what they promise? As society comes together and pulls apart\, everyone faces the same shocking choice: Do they wish to know how long they'll liv e? And\, if so\, what will they do with that knowledge? The Measure charts the dawn of this new world through an unforgettable cast of characters wh ose decisions and fates interweave with one another: best friends whose dr eams are forever entwined\; pen pals finding refuge in the unknown\; a cou ple who thought they didn't have to rush\; a doctor who cannot save himsel f\; and a politician whose box becomes the powder keg that ultimately chan ges everything.
