THE MAMMOTH BOOK OF FUTURE COPS edited by Maxim Jakubowski & M. Christian. Published by ROBINSON 2003. Paperback. 

An ex-library book with the usual stamps and tags. In good condition.

This is the future of Blade Runner and Akira, the clashes of cops and crooks set in a bleak landscape of urban decay, pollution and corruption, of multi-national organisations pulling the strings of government and controlling the world with cybernetic Big Brother technology.

Maxim Jakubowski and M. Christian present their new collection of great future noir writing - haunting and bleak, brutal and heroic, always visionary.

Philip K. Dick's classic A Scanner Darkly, where an undercover cop infiltrating the world of drug informants ends up investigating himself. Stephen Baxter's Glass Earth, Inc, questions the reliability of memory and the meaning of reality. William Nolan's Violation, the author of Logan's Run explores the future of crime and punishment, in a world where machines judge and hand down justice to human beings. Ian Watson's The Shape of Murder, where cops barrel down futuristic boulevards in pursuit of cyber criminals at out-of-this-world speeds. Paul McAuley's chilling Prison Dreams, in which convicts are given implants that control their minds and dreams and those who think the wrong thoughts will be punished. Plus Richard Paul Russo, Conrad Williams, Mike Resnick, Liz Evans, Cecilia Tan and many more classics and specially commissioned stories from leading writers on both sides of the Atlantic.
