1969139943London: Macdonald Science Fiction 1969. Octavo boards. First British and first hardcover edition. A rebellious misfit becomes a good citizen as the result of harsh behavioral conditioning. "A society sterile and corrupt itself sentences its outcasts to 'Ultra Conscience' and the ring. Ultra Conscience -- the society's moral code imprinted by computer into the subconscious of the outcast -- and the ring -- a shocking device sealed on the finger -- operate in conjunction to form a prison of the mind. Though still holding the same beliefs and inclinations as before 'ringers' many not even entertain a thought contrary to Ultra Conscience without a cruel shock from the ring." - Berger Science Fiction and the New Dark Age p. 107. Perversely the authors' victimized hero "realizes that the ring is in fact a good idea in this vision of an unusually coercive technological utopia." - Pringle The Ultimate Guide to Science Fiction second edition p. 305. Anatomy of Wonder 1981 3-36. Sargent British and American Utopian Literature 1516-1985 p. 310. A fine copy in fine dust jacket. #139943 Macdonald Science Fiction unknown books
