About ebook : The Jagged Orbit
Nebula Award Finalist: Mankind has been reduced to slavery by technology and surveillance, in this near-future novel from the author of Stand on Zanzibar .
In The Jagged Orbit , Brunner, writing at the peak of form that allowed him to create Stand on Zanzibar , takes a long, hard, disturbing, and hilarious look at the near and not-so-distant future. Catastrophic changes due to rampant drug abuse, uncontrolled violence, high-level government corruption, inhumane treatment of the too-readily defined "insane," and the accompanying collapse of the social order are wreaking havoc on the world we recognize and turning it into a reality we must fear and hope to avoid. Brunner tells a spine-chilling tale of where the world could possibly go that is all too believable and real for our comfort.
"For each generation, there is a writer meant to bend the rules of what we know. Hugo Award winner (Best Novel, Stand on Zanzibar ) and British science fiction master John Brunner remains one of the most influential and respected authors of all time, and now many of his classic works are being reintroduced. For readers familiar with his vision, it is a chance to reexamine his thoughtful worlds and words. For new readers, Brunner's work proves itself the very definition of timeless.
