After Utopia

<p>It is the far future. Earth is beautifully planned efficiently run and happily united. It is the world that dreamers have envisioned since the beginning of time -- no slums no crime no poverty no disease no shortages. But still it is a world with problems. People have become so lazy so self-satisfied that human progress has all but ceased. To make matters worse addicts of the newly-developed "programmed dreams" are increasing at an enormous rate.<P> Only a few individuals understand the far-reaching consequences of these problems; only a few realize that the human race is destroying itself.<P> What these few individuals do is the basis of another fantastic novel of the possible future by the author of ROLLTOWN LOOKING BACKWARD FROM THE YEAR 2000 and BLACKMAN'S BURDEN.</p>
