Description
John Brunner's The Webs of Everywhere is a fast-paced science fiction thriller that combines near-future technology, espionage, and social commentary—the hallmarks of one of the twentieth century's most influential speculative fiction authors. Originally published in 1974 and reissued as this First Ballantine Books edition in January 1983, the novel explores the consequences of a revolutionary transportation technology capable of instantly moving people anywhere on Earth. As governments, criminals, and competing interests race to control its power, Brunner crafts a suspenseful story that reflects his enduring fascination with technology's impact on society. Best known for the Hugo Award-winning Stand on Zanzibar, Brunner remains one of the leading voices of British New Wave science fiction. This well-preserved vintage paperback is an excellent addition to any collection of classic speculative fiction and is protected in a new archival-quality removable sleeve.
About the Author
John Brunner (1934–1995) was one of the most respected British science fiction writers of the twentieth century and a leading figure of the New Wave movement. His landmark novels Stand on Zanzibar, The Sheep Look Up, The Jagged Orbit, and Shockwave Rider anticipated many of today's concerns about overpopulation, environmental decline, media saturation, and computer networks. His work continues to attract collectors for its literary quality, social relevance, and lasting influence on modern speculative fiction.
