Product Details
- First published in 1960, this taut Cold War science fiction novel follows a hunted telepath whose existence threatens the balance of power between rival superstates.In a divided future world locked in ideological conflict, telepaths are rare, dangerous, and deeply feared. To possess the ability to read minds is to stand outside society-coveted by governments, hunted by intelligence services, and distrusted by ordinary citizens. When one such telepath becomes the focus of competing political forces, survival depends not only on psychic power but on cunning, restraint, and the fragile trust of others.Algis Budrys constructs a tense and morally complex narrative in which espionage, paranoia, and personal isolation intertwine. The telepath's gift is both weapon and curse, exposing the private fears of allies and enemies alike. As rival blocs maneuver to control or eliminate him, the novel explores questions of identity, autonomy, and the corrosive pressures of a surveillance state.The Burning World stands as a sharp example of mid-century science fiction-psychological, political, and deeply concerned with the human cost of power. Budrys combines intellectual rigor with narrative momentum, producing a story that feels both intimate and geopolitically expansive.Explore other exciting Positronic Books devoted to classic science fiction, fantasy, and mystery.
