Paperback: 7¾" x 5". Condition: Very Good: Light signs of wear. Cover Art: Jim Burns (illustrator). 1999 Edition. © 1968: A stand-alone novel by John Brunner. 1st printing of 1999 trade paperback edition. SF Masterworks Series I (#15):- Synopsis: There are seven billion-plus humans crowding the surface of 21st century Earth. It is an age of intelligent computers, mass-market psychedelic drugs, politics conducted by assassination, scientists who burn incense to appease volcanoes. All the hysteria of a dangerously overcrowded world, portrayed in a dazzlingly inventive style:- Review(s): "Brunner was an angry man, angry at injustice and cynicism, and this novel was meant to be a wake-up call to the world. SF is not about predicting the future: it's about elucidating the present and the past. Brunner's nightmare is crystallizing around us, in ways he could not have foreseen then. If the right people had read this book, and acted in accordance with its spirit, our world would not be in such precarious shape today. It's time for a new generation to read it" - Joe Haldeman:- (original cost £6.99). Seller Inventory # 23.050.00058
