Amazingly prophetic, darkly satirical, filled with well-developed characters, structurally clever, and driven by two strong plotlines, this is well worth your time. Ends on a note of guarded and qualified optimism...I think world events between this book (1968) and Sheep Look Up (1972) depressed Brunner and made the second book significantly darker.

Left with Rich and Rosemary in Syracuse.
