There are seven billion-plus humans crowding the surface of 21st century Earth.

From the Back Cover
Donald Hogan was a mild-mannered student, a dilettante intellectual--at least that's what everyone was supposed to think he was. But Donald knew otherwise. He knew he was a spy.
But what Donald didn't know was that in a world overpopulated by the billions--in a society squeezed into hive-living madness by megabrain computers, mass-marketed psychedelics, and eugenics--where everyone was struggling for life--he himself was programmed for death!
From the Inside Flap
A Hugo-award-winning novel of over-population, poitical struggles, and warped ethics. "A quite marvelous projection in which John Brunner landscapes a future that seems the natural foster child of the present...Everything compounds into a fractured tomorrow--from the population explosion to Marshall McLuhan to the Territorial Imperative to the underground press..."--Kirkus Reviews

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. 4th printing of 1999 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 £7.99). Seller Inventory # 21.037.00047
