Sobre este artículo
London: Chapman & Hall, 1953. 1st. hardback. Good, 1st edition, with unclipped d/j (v.g., some bumping). Red cloth boards good condition; text block firm, pages unmarked (top edges red).. 8vo (230 x 150 / 9"" x 6""). A satire set in a dystopian, quasi-egalitarian Britain. The protagonist, Miles Plastic, is an orphan who is finishing a prison term for arson. Crime is treated very leniently by the state, and conditions in prison are actually quite superior to those among the population at large, leading to an understandably high recidivism rate. Upon release, Plastic goes to work at a state-run euthanasia centre. The centres are not restricted to the terminally ill and are so popular that Plastic's sole responsibility is to stem ""the too eager rush"" of perfectly healthy but ""welfare weary"" citizens.
