About This Item

London: Jonathan Cape, 1967. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Very good plus/Very Good. First British edition of this rare Philip K. Dick title; there was no corresponding U.S. edition. Very good plus in clean purple boards with attractive bookplate (and small sticker ghost) on front pastedown. Two pages with slight corner crease, otherwise clean and tight. In a very good price-clipped dust jacket with light wear at corners and some spots of rubbing--mostly along edges of rear fold--and two closed edge tears. An attractive copy of one of the rarest of Dick's hardcover trade editions.

Synopsis

“At a time when most 20th-century science fiction writers seem hopelessly dated, Dick gives us a vision of the future that captures the feel of our time.”— Wired In the future, most of humanity lives in massive underground bunkers, producing weapons for the nuclear war they've fled. Constantly bombarded by patriotic propaganda, the citizens of these industrial anthills believe they are waiting for the day when the war will be over and they can return aboveground. But when Nick St. James, president of one anthill, makes an unauthorized trip to the surface, what he finds is more shocking than anything he could imagine.
