It is the far future. Earth is beautifully planned, efficiently run and happily united. It is the world that dreamers have envisioned since the beginning of time -- no slums, no crime, no poverty, no disease, no shortages. But still, it is a world with problems. People have become so lazy, so self-satisfied, that human progress has all but ceased. To make matters worse, addicts of the newly-developed "programmed dreams" are increasing at an enormous rate. Only a few individuals understand the far-reaching consequences of these problems; only a few realize that the human race is destroying itself. What these few individuals do is the basis of another fantastic novel of the possible future by the author of ROLLTOWN, LOOKING BACKWARD FROM THE YEAR 2000 and BLACKMAN'S BURDEN.
Autorenporträt
Dallas McCord "Mack" Reynolds (1917 - 1983) was an American science fiction writer. His pen names included Dallas Ross, Mark Mallory, Clark Collins, Dallas Rose, Guy McCord, Maxine Reynolds, Bob Belmont and Todd Harding. His work focused on socioeconomic speculation, usually expressed in thought-provoking explorations of utopian societies from a radical, sometime satiric perspective. He was a popular author from the 1950s to the 1970s, especially with readers of science fiction and fantasy magazines. Reynolds was the first author to write an original novel based upon the 1966-1969 NBC television series Star Trek. The book, Mission to Horatius (1968), was aimed at young readers.
