<i>Bug Jack Barron</i> is one of the most controversial novels ever to be labelled 'science fiction'. In a prescient foreshadowing of our present culture, Jack Barron is the star of Bug Jack Barron, a cross between Watchdog and Jerry Springer. The cynical Barron accidentally finds himself the only person in the way of multi-billionaire Benedict Howards, who is willing to go to any lengths to get his Freezer Bill through Congress, to avert "a million years of worm eaten nothingness."<br /><br />Denounced in the Houses of Parliament, described as "...depraved, cynical, utterly repulsive and thoroughly degenerate" by SF author and publisher Donald A Wollheim, <i>Bug Jack Barron</i> is a pedal-to-the-metal savagely funny vision of a world where money tips the balance between life and death. Spinrad attacks the media, politicians and corporations in this shamelessly wicked and coruscating satire. <br /><br />The text of this edition has been fully revised by the author, and features an afterword from Michael Moorcock, editor of <i>New Worlds</i> magazine in which the novel was originally serialised.
