Summary:

By the writer of Rosemary’s Baby, a horrifying journey right into a future only Ira Levin could imagine.

Considered one of the great dystopian novels-alongside Anthony Burgess’ A Clockwork Orange and Aldous Huxley’s Fearless Brand-new World-Ira Levin’s scary glimpse in to the future continues to fascinate readers even forty years following publication.

The story is defined inside a seemingly perfect global society. Uniformity may be the defining feature; there is one language and everything ethnic groups have already been about This Ideal Day eugenically merged into one race called “The Family.” The globe is ruled by a central pc called UniComp that has been programmed to keep every single human being on the top of earth in balance. People are constantly drugged through regular injections in order to under no circumstances realize their potential as humans, but will remain satisfied and cooperative. They are told where you can live, when to consume, whom to marry, when to replicate. Even the essential facts of nature are at the mercy of UniComp’s will-men do not grow facial hair, females do not develop breasts, and it just rains at night.

Using a vision as frightening as any in the annals from the science fiction genre, This Ideal Day is one of Ira Levin`s most haunting books.
