...and terror and delight and the subtitle could be- So you think you've got a housing problem? In this collection ten top writers offer unique visions of the latter-day metropolis. J.G. Ballard gives us a claustrophobic look at a population problem in Billenium. Stephen Vincent Benet has a strange concept of life and religion in his The Machine Stops and Robert Heinlein has a quiet laugh over a pair of ""Loonies"" in ""It's Great to be Back."" Other contributors include Robert Abernathy, Brian Aldiss and C.M. Kornbluth. City slickers.
