Soft cover. Condition: Good. Murray Tinkelman illustrator. (illustrator). Fourth Edition By Publisher. 240 Grams; 457 Pages; ** Goodreads; An enduring classic, this book offers a dramatic and prophetic look at the potential consequences of the escalating destruction of Earth. In this nightmare society, air pollution is so bad that gas masks are commonplace. Infant mortality is up, and everyone seems to suffer from some form of ailment. ** A.I.: The Sheep Look Up, presents a dystopian vision of environmental collapse, exploring the dire consequences of industrial pollution and rampant consumerism in the United States. The narrative is set in a near-future where the air is so toxic that gas masks become an everyday necessity, water is frequently undrinkable, and the natural world is on the brink of devastation. Brunner's work was ahead of its time, highlighting issues that have become increasingly relevant in today's society. The novel's stark depiction of ecological disaster serves as a cautionary tale, urging readers to consider the impact of their actions on the planet. It was nominated for the Nebula Award for Best Novel in 1972 and is part of Brunner's "Club of Rome Quartet," a series of books each addressing a critical social issue of the time. "The Sheep Look Up" remains a significant work in the science fiction genre, offering a dramatic and prophetic look at the potential consequences of the escalating destruction of Earth. >>> This is a reading copy. cover creasing & scuffing; 1" paper split to lower front cover & paper spine, re-glued.
