"Originally published in 1968, Stand on Zanzibar was a breakthrough in science fiction storytelling technique, and a prophetic look at a dystopian 2010 that remains compelling today.

Universal in reach, the world-system is out of control, and we are all its victims...and its creator"--Cover p. [4].
