Small octavo, pictorial wrappers. First edition. Ballantine Books 335K. "The Earth is moved out of its orbit by aliens who capture humans in order to use their bodies in a vast computer complex; it is a precursor to some of the most ambitious work of authors like Stephen Baxter and Greg Bear." - SFE (online). "Pyramid-shaped aliens wrench the Earth from its orbit, and turn the remnants of humanity into fleshly machine components. But one talented individual finds the resources to mount a rebellion. An extremely odd story, part satire and part gosh-wow tale of super-science. The fourth and last collaborative SF novel by these talented authors (Kornbluth died in 1958). In a 1986 revision Pohl has smoothed over some of the first edition's faults." - Pringle, The Ultimate Guide to Science Fiction, second edition (1995), pp. 424-5. Anatomy of Wonder (2004) II-865. Touch of dust soiling to spine panel, else a fine copy. Cover art by Richard Powers. (#88175).

First edition. Octavo, cover art by Richard Powers, boards. "The ad-men run this overpopulated America of the future, a crassly materialist society which is challenged only by a weak underground movement of conservationists.

Pringle, Science Fiction: The 100 Best Novels #12. Survey of Science Fiction Literature V, pp. 2127-31. The usual age darkening to the text pages, a nearly fine copy in a nearly fine dust jacket with slight wear to spine ends with a tiny closed tear and crease to the base of the spine panel, spine panel has mild sun fading.

Edition originale
Small octavo, cloth. First edition. "A satirical attack on near-future capitalism, in which the hero is a crusading lawyer who braves the slums of Belly Rave ('Belle Reve') where the populace are sustained, Roman-fashion, by bread and circuses. Eventually he becomes a (literal) gladiator, fighting for the people's cause. Excellent, amusing detail, even if the denouement is a bit hard to credit: it's the authors' best collaboration after THE SPACE MERCHANTS." - Pringle, The Ultimate Guide to Science Fiction, second edition (1995), p. 155. Anatomy of Wonder (1987) 3-311. Berger, Science Fiction and the New Dark Age, p. 120. Sargent, British and American Utopian Literature, 1516-1985, p. 258. Survey of Science Fiction Literature II, pp. 894-8. Text paper tanned (less than is usually the case with this book), a fine copy in very good or better dust jacket with light wear at spine ends, 12 mm closed tear at upper front flap fold, 10 mm closed tear and associated crease at lower front flap fold, and clipped price. A nice copy of a very scarce Ballantine hardcover. (#153629).
