Norman Niblock House is a rising executive at General Technics, one of
a few all-powerful corporations. His work is leading General Technics to
the forefront of global domination, both in the marketplace and politically -
it's about to take over a country in Africa. Donald Hogan is his roommate,
a seemingly sheepish bookworm. But Hogan is a spy, and he's about to discover
a breakthrough in genetic engineering that will change the world...and kill
him.

These two men's lives weave through one of science-fiction's most praised
novels. Written in a way that echoes John Dos Passos' U.S.A. Trilogy, Stand
on Zanzibar is a cross-section of a world overpopulated by the billions and
society is squeezed into hive-living madness by god-like mega computers,
mass-marketed psychedelic drugs, and mundane uses of genetic engineering.
Though written in 1968, it speaks of our present time and is frighteningly
prescient and intensely powerful.
