Brown full leather, gilt titles and decorations, all edges gilt, ribbon marker bound in. Introduction by David Brin, illustrations by Vincent DiFate. \"Norman Niblock House is a rising executive at General Technics, one of a few all-powerful corporations. His work is leading General Technics to the forefront of global domination, both in the marketplace and politically - it's about to take over a country in Africa. Donald Hogan is his roommate, a seemingly sheepish bookworm. But Hogan is a spy, and he's about to discover a breakthrough in genetic engineering that will change the world... and kill him. These two men's lives weave through one of science fiction's most praised novels. Written in a way that echoes John Dos Passos' U.S.A. Trilogy, Stand on Zanzibar is a cross-section of a world overpopulated by the billions. Where society is squeezed into hive-living madness by god-like mega computers, mass-marketed psychedelic drugs, and mundane uses of genetic engineering. Though written in 1968, it speaks of 2010, and is frighteningly prescient and intensely powerful.'\"","brand":"The Easton Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":20499434897478,"sku":"2281116","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1232\/9510\/products\/2281116.jpg?v=1571425924","url":"https:\/\/ym-demo.myshopify.com\/products\/stand-on-zanzibar-the-masterpieces-of-science-fiction","provider":"Yesterday's Muse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
