In a world choking on its own pollution, survival isn’t guaranteed—and clean air is a luxury.
The future has arrived, and it’s toxic. Gas masks are standard attire. Drinking water is privatized. Babies are born deformed. While corporations cash in on catastrophe, the government buries its head in the smog. Amid the chaos, one man is hunted by everyone: environmentalist Austin Train. The media wants a story. Eco-terrorists want a leader. The authorities want him dead.
But Train doesn’t want to be a hero—he just wants to stay alive. Yet as the world spirals toward ecological collapse, his voice might be the last chance humanity has left.
A Nebula Award finalist, The Sheep Look Up is John Brunner’s disturbingly prescient tale of climate breakdown and corporate greed.
