[Lakewood, CO: Centipede Press, 2009]. Octavo, leather backed illustrated cloth. Enlarged edition. One of 300 numbered copies signed by Brunner and Kim Stanley Robinson (introduction). This is copy number 1. New introduction by Kim Stanley Robinson. This edition includes an essay by Brunner "Viewpoint: Childless Couples." "Mammoth attempt to picture the world as it may well be in the early twenty-first century -- overpopulated, over automated, and torn by riots and muggings. The pop sociologist Chad C. Mulligan comments wryly on it all, and he is the nearest thing to a hero in this densely peopled book. Primarily didactic in intent, it borrows surface bravura from John Dos Passos's social realist USA trilogy (1930-1936)." - Pringle, The Ultimate Guide to Science Fiction, second edition (1995), p. 343. Winner of the 1969 Hugo award for best novel. 1968 Nebula nominee. Winner of the 1970 British Science Fiction Association Award for best novel and the French Prix Apollo.
