FUTURELAND - NINE STORIES OF AN IMMINENT WORLD - FIRST HARD COVER. NY: Warner, 2001. First Edition. 6 X 9. Hard Cover. Fine / Fine. ISBN: 0446529540 . Life in America a generation from now isn't much different from today: The drugs are better, the daily grind is worse. The gap between the rich and the poor has widened to a chasm. You can store the world's legal knowledge on a chip in your little finger, while the Supreme Court has decreed that constitutional rights don't apply to any individual who challenges the system. Justice is swiftly delivered by automated courts, so the prison industry is booming. And while the media declares racism is dead, word on the street is that even in a colorless society, it's a crime to be black. These nine interlocking tales of survival unfold in the world of an imminent tomorrow. List Price $24.95. 356 pp.
