THE 480
by Eugene Burdick
New York: McGraw-Hill Book Company, (1964).
Lower corner tips lightly bumped, else a near fine copy with bright silver and red metallic spine titles on black boards; in an about near fine, price-clipped illustrated dust jacket with some shelf wear including tiny tears and nicks.
A political science fiction thriller by the co-author of THE UGLY AMERICAN and FAIL SAFE. In this novel, set just after the JFK assassination and during the next Presidential campaign, Burdick warns about the threat that computers can potentially play in affecting the outcome of an election.
THE 480 has been cited as prefiguring the effect of modern social media and data gathering on politics.
An unaccountably scarce novel.
The dust jacket art is by Diane and Leo Dillon.
