From Hugo and Nebula winner Theodore Sturgeon comes a seeming utopia a world with only one gender and no poverty pollution or warbut at what cost
Charlie Johns has been snatched from his home on Earth and delivered to the strange future world of Ledom Technology has triumphed over hunger overpopulation pollution and even time and space But there is a change Charlie finds even more shocking Gender is a thing of the past Gone are the tensions between male and female Gone is the human preoccupation with sex
As Charlie explores Ledom and its people he finds his engrained human precepts are profane in this new world But then why are his hosts so eager for his approval Something isnt right about Ledoms ideal existence And when cracks begin to appear in its flawless faade Charlie must unearth the citys terrible secrets before its too late
Theodore Sturgeons visionary tale is literary science fiction at its most brazen and inventive A scathing critique of American puritanism that unabashedly explores questions of sexuality and gender it remains as relevant insightful provocative and troubling as when it first appeared in print
