Answer:
In the book "A Wrinkle in Time" by Madeleine L'Engle, when the children arrive on Camazotz, they initially see an orderly and uniform environment. The houses, streets, and buildings are all identical and the people they see are also uniformed, with no individuality or variation. The first indication that something is off or not right is that the environment feels too perfect, as if it was designed to remove all individuality and free will. The people they see are all moving in a synchronized and robotic manner, indicating a lack of personal agency. Additionally, the children notice that there are no birds or animals and that everything seems to be controlled and monitored by a central authority.
