Relaunch of spectacular Robert Westall fantasy novel that was way
ahead of its time. A fantasy of the near future in which Britain is
divided into Zones and castes to which men and women are pitilessly
allocated at the end of their schooling. Whether crazed proles in
the Unnem zones, smug pampered bourgeois Ests or arrogant Techs,
all are ultimately pawns of the computer that governs it all. One
boy penetrates the conspiracy by which the nation is governed and
has the knowhow to strike at the heart of evil. This novel was
originally published in 1983 and was runner up for the Carnegie
Medal. It's a fantastic, if bleak, vision of the future - all the
more scary because many of its 'Big Brother' elements are so
evident in our society today.
