Description
In 1977, a series of “Everlasting” products—lightbulbs that never burn out and cars that never wear out—threaten to collapse the global capitalist economy. Jay Vickers soon discovers that these items originate from a parallel Earth, part of a “ring” of worlds accessible only to those with latent psychic abilities. Clifford D. Simak’s classic explores the tensions between corporate stability and human evolution. This 1967 Four Square edition is a quintessential piece of Cold War-era sociological science fiction.
