The Space Merchants (Frederik Pohl & C.M. Kornbluth)

I’m starting my account here by recommending THE SPACE MERCHANTS. This biting satire takes place in a dystopian future where our world is run by competing corporations and ad agencies (sound familiar?) Written in 1953, it’s an under celebrated classic that’s disturbingly prophetic. Equal parts hilariously absurd and utterly horrifying, this book is a must read for anyone who enjoys sci-fi.
