Book description
It was the future perfect, the greatest society in human history, with
peace and plenty, and total sexual freedom. Utopia paid you the
Universal Guaranteed Income, whether you worked or not. Yet something
was wrong it was a FRACTURED UTOPIA By the thousands, the disenchanted
fled the cities to join tiny, mobile towns that sprang up wildly. It was
called The Commune Phenomenon. Super leaders of the super future
challenged Swain to locate the worm of discontent. Strange, because
Swain himself felt gnawed by corruption, distracted by lust, troubled by
danger Mack Reynolds (1917-1983). Dallas McCord ('Mack') Reynolds was
born in California in 1917. His father was the Socialist Labor Party
Presidential Candidate on two occasions, and Reynolds' life and work
were deeply affected by his political upbringing. After early careers in
newspapers and computing, Reynolds returned from the Second World War
and began to write science fiction. Based in Mexico but travelling
widely in his role as Travel Editor for a men's magazine, he started
slowly but surely to sell his work. Mack Reynolds wrote the first Star
Trek novel, Mission to Horatius, and was once voted Most popular SF
Author by the readers of Galaxy Science Fiction magazine. He died in
1983.
