Gregory Benford
Pocket Books, 1981
366 pages
Synopsis: There are two eras covered in Timescape: the UK, 1998 and the US, 1962 – 1963.
The world in 1998 is deeply screwed: a chemical used in agriculture turns out to have an entirely unsuspected ability to reproduce, killing vast number of the fish in the sea. The UK is in another economic downturn and the World Council is pulling funding from many nonessential avenues of research.
