Book purchased by physician as a collectible for display in his bookcase. Kept in temperature-controlled environment; book not smelly or speckled with humidity stains - and no smoker's smell. In gift-giving condition. This work is a violent and sadistic novel, focused on good and evil and whether the state is justified in fighting crime by removing the possibility of committing it. In the process, it reveals a ruined generation through one of its spokesmen, speaking in a future slang that the author invented for the purpose, and the government that shaped him and now would like to control his behavior. This is one of the earliest novels to deal with the difficult choices that contemporary biology and psychology are presenting to today's society. Futuristic, dystopia, depression, terror.
