Description
Enter the surreal and sharply satirical world of Robert Sheckley, a master of the science fiction short story. The People Trap features fourteen tales of futuristic irony, including the title story where a man must navigate a hyper-congested, bureaucratic Earth to win a plot of land. Sheckley’s wit shines in this collection, blending dark humor with social commentary on overpopulation, technology, and human nature. This 1977 Pan edition is a classic example of New Wave era speculative fiction.
