This is not an ordinary book: it's a BookCrossing book! BookCrossing books are world travelers - they like to have adventures and make new friends...and with your help, they can even write home to say what they've been doing! (You may remain anonymous if you wish.)

Subtitle: An Anthropology of the Future; foreword by Brian Aldiss.

Oversized hardcover with dust jacket. Dixon's books are sort of science fiction bestiaries, with a serious emphasis on the science. They're fascinating, but it's time for them to move on. I hope they can find an appreciative audience!

Friday, July 3, 2020: RABCK headed for North Carolina with some traveling companions.

USPS tracking 9114 9014 9645 1602 2976 08

Released for Davros-10's 2020 Science Fiction Challenge since this is science-based speculation.

I'm so glad you've found this book! Won't you make a journal entry so the previous readers know that it's safe with you?

How and where did you find the book? What did you think of it? What are you going to do with it next?

This is now your book, for you to do with as you please: keep it as long as you wish, pass it to a friend, or maybe even leave it where someone else can find it!

If you've ever wondered where your books go after they leave your hands, join BookCrossing and you may find out: you'll be able to follow your books as new readers make journal entries - sometimes from surprisingly far-flung locations.

Update August 26: this book and its companions are currently bouncing back and forth across the country...

Received in today's mail. Thanks, hyphen8!

Well, this is a strange one. It was interesting but I'm certainly not convinced things will go this way. Basically, Dixon reimagined the evolution of man. He assumes the current man will evolve out of existence but not before releasing genetically engineered "replacements" for himself. A nice thought experiment but a bit icky...

Reserving for another BCer unless I cannot afford postage overseas....

Mailed to maximass in Scotland. Enjoy!

I received the book in the mail today, Thank you so much glade1, can't wait to read it!
