The Jagged Orbit

© 1969: A stand-alone novel by John Brunner. 3rd printing of 1969 edition:- Synopsis:The Mad Oracle. She could see into other people's minds. But the sybil-pills that gave her that power drove her own mind into insanity. Don't you find yourself wondering where this world of ours is going? To an early grave, perhaps? John Brunner has extrapolated from the themes you hear about every day - drugs, violence, high-level corruption, inhumane treatment of the too-casually defined 'insane', and the general dissolution of society - and constructed a compelling, chilling novel of what may well be the not-so-distant future:- Review(s): "John Brunner forces a constant confrontation with reality in this savagely satirical novel" - Robert Bloch / "The styling is Now. Wear It! Eat It! Drive It! Buy It Today!" - Thomas M Disch / "A superb work, plotted with amazing skill, and showing a magnetic artistry" - Philip K Dick:- (original cost $1.95).
