"Say you know something? I get nightmares now and then. About how I punch my code into the board and the signal comes back: deeveed!"
Ina said, "Me too! And I can't believe we're the only ones."


This book was written in the mid-1970s, and inspired by the concepts in Alvin Toffler's book "Future Shock", but it hasn't dated. Its themes of government conspiracy, and the population's inability to cope with the rapid range of change in the modern world are still as relevant today as they were back then, and it leaves you with plenty to think about.

Nickie Haflinger is not a likeable protagonist, however. He is extremely arrogant and excessively proud of his self-control, while actually being prone to showing off and getting himself noticed, which is the last thing he needs to happen.
