Seven Come Infinity

Seven superb tales of possible worlds where...television covers the inhuman side of the news;ingenious social planning makes every man a dictator;computerized brain repair proves too successful;spaceships vanish in the fourth dimension;the competition for habitable planets inspires an interstellar hoax;peculiar bugs appear and things, literally, begin to fall apart;a highly developed society exists without the clutter of technology.Carefully selected and edited by Groff Conklin, each of these stories represents the work of a master in the field.
