Frederik Pohl “Midas World” Vintage Paperback 1984

Midas World
Frederik Pohl’s *Midas World* is a satirical masterpiece of science fiction that brilliantly skewers consumerism and economic absurdity.
In a future of limitless fusion energy where robots produce everything, humanity faces a bizarre crisis: the lower classes are forced into frantic consumption to keep the economy afloat, while only the ultra-wealthy can afford a simple, uncluttered lifestyle.
This first paperback edition from TOR Books is an essential addition for collectors of mid-century social satire and classic speculative fiction.
