Second Printing 1970 (T2325) - One spine crease, lightly tanned pages with no marks, binding tight Additional Details ------------------------------ Product description: A revision of Put Down This Earth (1962) A daring novel of humankind's strange and startling destiny. Here is a novel to equal Arthur Clarke's Childhood's End. It tells with frightening clarity of a desperately stricken earth-wracked by overpopulation and plagued by famine and despair. It tells, too, of a new breed of men and women--21st century lotus eaters caught up in a mysterious euphoria which will ultimately threaten all life on this planet; the drug-induced world of "happy dreams." Do these "happy dreamers" herald the end of the human species--or the next extraordinary step in the evolution of humanity?
