Publisher's Blurb – Lower Cover
LIVING IN – AND WITH – THE SPACE AGE

The fantasy that is about to become reality, by the leading writer of science fiction and prophet of science fact.

Arthur C. Clarke's brilliant book is divided into three sections. The first is about space travel and other aspects of the new space age; how our concept of time must be modified when we travel long distances; the space seas of tomorrow; uses of the moon; how lower gravity will affect the sports of space colonists – and other fascinating ideas.

The second section is about communications satellites, a field in which the author has already played the role of true prophet. How the Comsats, for instance, will promote a common language for the world, affect our sleeping habits, etc.

The third section ranges widely over the side implications of the space age – about scientific meddling, the lunatic fringe, the moral obligations of the scientists, etc.

An Arthur C. Clarke book is always hot news. This one is news for today and tomorrow.

'A fascinating book . . . hypnotic entertainment'
