Taken to extremes, social organization--however necessary in
itself--leads to the creation of what editors Erlich and Dunn label
Clockwork Worlds. This anthology has been organized to define and
expand that concept for the reader. Arthur O. Lewis provides a
comprehensive overview of clockwork worlds and sets them in their
political and literary contexts. Following Lewis' introduction are
two series of essays which show how the theme of mechanized
environments has been developed in classic works of dystopian
fiction, and how it has been treated by some of the major
contemporary science fiction writers. The Special Topics section
studies mechanized environments from a variety of viewpoints. The
editors have included an extensive list of stories, novels, films,
background readings, and other works useful for the study of
mechanized environments.
