(#161662) O-ZONE. Paul Theroux.

O-ZONE. New York: G. P. Putnam’s Sons, [1986]. Octavo, cloth-backed boards. First edition. Complex future dystopia." - Sargent, British and Utopian Literature, 1986-2009. "In a near-future America, raddled by pollution, the high-tech haves oppress the dehumanized have-nots. An unoriginal anti-utopian outing by a famous mainstream novelist, it fails to come to life." - Pringle, The Ultimate Guide to Science Fiction, second edition (1995), p. 272. "This is not the past or the future. It is the present; only a slight intensification of the situation between whites and blacks in South Africa or, more broadly, the West versus the rest, and Theroux is fully aware of it." - Lee Montgomery, INTRZONE. "A dismal novel: dull, ill-written, misconceived, nakedly exploitative." - Thomas M. Disch, SF COMMENTARY. A fine copy in fine dust jacket. (#161662).
