Earth has a very large and growing population following what they call the \“Age of Waste\”. This does not produce the usual dystopia because the Earth can support its population if well organized. The political system is a corporate state (the authors call it Fascism), and at the beginning of the novel it is working well, but the plot is driven by a forthcoming disaster, a meteor strike, and the system struggles to deal with it. Still, at the end the system survives. Said to be \“a sequel of sorts\” to Knight\’s \“Frontier of the Unknown.\” Illus. [William Elliott] Dold (1889-1957).
