Blish, James & Knight, Norman L. - A Torrent of Faces - (Hardcover)

*NO MORE THAN 5 B00KS PER ORDER OF PARCEL ALLOWED) - London: Faber and Faber, 1968. First British edition.  >>>   A James Blish novel of 1968 written in collaboration with Norman L Knight. The setting *s an overcrowded Earth 800 years hence with a world population of one trillion, run by a corporate fascist state. The treatment of social change resulting from such population pressures, or various technology changes, seems naïve and simplistic, whilst the random episodic style of the plot is a likely result of the novel being an extended tie-up of short stories published in Galaxy and Analog magazines between 1965 and 1967. Despite this, the novel makes an enjoyable read in a distinctly 1960s way.
