Description: Set in 2010, mostly in the United States, this award-winning novel tells the stories of a large cast of characters as they cope with a world population of seven billion, legislation for eugenics, information overload, future shock, and an all-knowing super-computer named Shalmaneser. Innovative for its time and genre, the book belongs to the "new wave" of science fiction beginning to be written in the late Sixties.
