Kornbluth\u003c\/strong\u003e, hand-bound in genuine leather by LeatheredLines. C. M. Kornbluth's 1951 novella is one of the sharpest satires in science fiction. John Barlow, a real-estate salesman accidentally frozen in suspended animation, wakes centuries later to find a world where the intelligent few toil to keep society running for a vast population of contented morons, and offers a ruthless solution. Darkly funny and still provocative.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAbout this leather-bound edition\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe cover every book in genuine leather by hand, finishing the spine with gold-tone foil titling and decorative tooling in the tradition of fine library bindings. Because each copy is made individually, small variations in leather grain and colour are a natural sign of handwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe thickness and weight of the finished book depend on the length of this particular title. Longer works make a noticeably thicker volume, while shorter works are slimmer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eEdition details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTitle:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Marching Morons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e C.
