The People Trap and other Pitfalls, Snares, Devices and Delusions, as Well as Two Sniggles and a Contrivance

THE GRAND TOUR OF FAR OUT WORLDS

Pick your planet. Your Galaxy. Your universe. And let Robert Sheckley, that master of science fiction of the sixties, be your guide.

You may find yourself in a world where people are so numerous that life is a vicious battle for breathing space. Or in a place inhabited exclusively by creatures right out of a Disney technicolor movie. Or among a race of beings whose greatest dream is their own violent deaths. Or in a terrifying emptiness where the mind alone creates its strange realities.

These are but a few of the startling stops in this fantastic voyage to the outer reaches of the imagination...
