Paperback: 7" x 4½". Condition: Very Good: Light signs of wear. 1976 Edition. © 1974: A stand-alone novel by Richard Cowper. 1st printing of 1976 edition:- Synopsis: In 1851 Briareus went Nova. In 1983 Earth went mad. Radiation from this stellar explosion, less than 150 light years away, smashed Earth into a new ice age. Tornado…es ravaged the world, leaving in their wake destruction, desolation and death. Worst of all, the human race found itself sterile. Men looked for a scapegoat and found the Zetas, those strange people with suddenly acquired psychic powers. But even during the hounding and extermination which followed, few could grasp what had really happened: that an alien intelligence, riding on the shock waves of that supernova deep in space, had broken through the atmosphere to take up residence in the human brain. Who would inherit the Earth? No one knew until, in 2000, a woman became pregnant again. But what would she give birth to?:- Review(s): The most amazing SF novel yet from one of the most accomplished writers in the genre" - Sunday Times:- (original cost £0.70).

Soft cover. Condition: FINE+, Near New. First Edition By This Publisher. 265 Grams; Painted cover by Eddie; 461 Pages; SCARCE in this ORBIT Quartet paperback edition with the Eddie cover; ** 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. >>> Slight Spine Slant, Minor one inch Black Grease Pencil mark on bottom edge of book.; indent to front covers; Size: 12mo - over 6¾ - 7¾" tall.
