The Space Age
(Steve

On the Back Cover:
 This is
the city: a technological paradise built by an advanced race. Its glittering
towers reach proudly for the stars, and its spires are looped by elevated
roadways.
The people that lived here were enlightened and
contented. They travelled in bubble-topped saucer cars, along moving pavements
or in anti-gravity tubes. Obedient robots tended to their every whim. Disease,
war, famine and pollution had been eradicated. Food machines synthesised all
essential nutrients into pill form, and personal rocket ships brought the solar
system within reach. The people of the city befriended Venusians and Martians
alike.
The city is self-cleansing. Its systems harness solar power
and static electricity. Its buildings are constructed from a metal that will
never rust or tarnish. It will stand forever as a monument to the achievements
of the human race.
This is Earth. The year is 2000 AD. This is your
future.
Welcome to the Space Age. |
