Synopsis
This angry novel of the future is John Brunner's sequel to his award-winning story of overpopulation, Stand on Zanzibar. In a brilliant and savage attack on our suicidal complacency in the face of an undeniable truth - that we are killing this planet and all that lives on it with chemicals, drugs, indifference, stupidity, and greed - the author leads us from a Europe where the Mediterranean is stagnant and dead to the Rocky Mountain West where the water supply has been flooded with poisonous gas. In chilling detail he tells of the people who live on earth and their attempts to come to terms with their environment. The Sheep Look Up is a brilliant novel with the prophecy of 1984 and the shock of A Clockwork Orange.
