It is the year 2010. The world population is at 7 billion. China is a global superpower. Normal people go on Axe-Crazy killing sprees. Corporations can influence entire nations. Pre-martial sex is too common and religions are divided on issues such as abortion. Wait...wasn't this novel published in 1968?!
