The Years of the City
Frederik Pohl, one of
the most honored science fiction writers of our time, gives us an
extraordinary vision of a New York yet to come - from the wounded,
struggling behemoth of tomorrow to the domed, atmospherically controlled megalopolis of the twenty-first century. In Pohl's prophetic novel, a
woman awakes in another century, a man's eyes are replaced by radar,
criminals are frozen for future justice, and hang gliders soar above
Central Park.
New York - long the symbol of turmoil, tragedy and
brilliance, becomes a dazzling metaphor for mankind's future - and for
the promise of civilizaton.
