The Dreaming Earth

A revision of Put Down This Earth (1962)

A daring novel of humankind's strange and startling destiny. Here is a novel to equal Arthur Clarke's Childhood's End. It tells with frightening clarity of a desperately stricken earth-wracked by overpopulation and plagued by famine and despair. It tells, too, of a new breed of men and women — 21st century lotus eaters caught up in a mysterious euphoria which will ultimately threaten all life on this planet; the drug-induced world of "happy dreams."

Do these "happy dreamers" herald the end of the human species — or the next extraordinary step in the evolution of humanity?
