I rewatch the four episodes of this frequently. Why hasn't the BBC done a revival of this series when one of their top-rated shows, Doctor Who, is pure science fiction? (By the way, if someone could find the fifth episode, that would be awesome.)
Several decades b4 it really happened d gr8 John Brunner warned us on d wrong type of society "development" we deal nowadays. As a matter of fact we didn't understand him :-(
@13:13 John says; "There is no profession (writer) really more _egotistical_ than . . . " How true, when you consider Vonnegut & Ellison and so many others who are contaminated by their own self-importance - rather not meet these writers personally and let each remain *_writers_* on the rim of pomposity.
@13:15 so, John - *printed* you were? A writer of your calibre should certainly know the 'scientific' terminology (ironically), which is the accurate and bona fide term that replaces your *printed* & so we have ; *IMPRINTING* (PAST TENSE- _IMPRINTED_ ) & this state of affairs refers to a critical period of time, very early in a life, when an animal forms attachments and develops a concept of its own identity. If there is no 'parent' then it imprints on the 1st available candidate (including an inanimate doll) - in the way of a gosling to a human - righto!
"Stand on Zanzibar" is pure genius
Got it - "In Dark Trees", off the "Another Green World" album by Brian Eno.
This is golden. Thanks for sharing.
If you have the original, please consider uploading to archive, to preserve it in full. Thank you for this either way!

Brunner smokes anything coming out now.
Yeah, USA looks like the perfect ground for Brunner's misapplication of tech, and man, he did not mistake at all
