More about the book
They'll tell you that the whole human race could be put on the 147-square-mile Isle of Wight. They couldn't move, of course, just stand there. True? Maybe in 1918. Now you'd need the 221-square-mile Isle of Man. By 2010, something larger, something like 640-square-mile Zanzibar. By 2010 there are more than 7 billion people crowding the world, a world of acceleratubes, Moonbase Zero, intelligent computers and mass-marketed psychedelics. A world where a quiet man can be turned into a human machine, programmed to kill. A terrifying world because all of the elements are already discernible in this world now.
