5.0 out of 5 stars One man's view of the future, December 27, 1999
By 
ungaro (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
Written in the late 50's /early 60's,FrederickPohl's short novel foretells the universal use of the "Joybringer" - a portable object which serves as telephone, credit card and entertainment device in a highly automated world. To own this device is to be a part of day-to-day life in the Age of the Pussyfoot. But if you are without one, you are disenfranchised.

Anyone who recognises the similarity between this vision of the future and the consolidation of digital technology into the ever more powerful mobile phone is well advised to ask for this disturbing book,written 40 years ago,to be brought back into print
