About this title

Synopsis

THIRD PRINTING. Feb. 1975 Berkley Medallion MASS MARKET PAPERBACK, D. F. Jones (Earth Has Been Found). The hugely powerful and pervasive presence of the Colossus supercomputer mechanically runs Earth and its myriad operations. Managed by its creator, Dr. Charles Forbin, it is incapable of lies and void of human emotion. It is not a robot and not human. As part of its brief to enhance the human race, it runs eerie emotion research centers, authorizing acts of savagery to measure resistance and feeling. Art and abstract creation are banned, and surveillance is constant. No one is free. - Amazon
