The result is not simply an adventure about the future, but a political and psychological science fiction tale about the way societies manufacture obedience and how dangerous it can be to see through the structure too clearly. Compact, tense, and unsettling, it shows Leiber's gift for turning speculative premises into stories of human fear, ambition, and manipulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReaders of classic science fiction, dystopian fiction, social satire, political SF, and vintage magazine stories will find \u003cem\u003eAppointment in Tomorrow\u003c\/em\u003e a strong example of Leiber's range beyond fantasy and horror. This Positronic edition places the story alongside the classic speculative works that used imagined futures to expose the pressures, deceptions, and dangers of the present.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 38\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.09 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 08, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43426593013827,"sku":"9781515404262","price":10.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/store7994.com\/products\/appointment-in-tomorrow-paperback","provider":"STORE 7994","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
