1984: SPRING A CHOICE OF FUTURES 1984, the year celebrated in George Orwell's classic dystopian novel, is finally upon us.

Clarke, citizen of the world, expounds on some of the world's enormously serious problems: war and peace, the frontiers of space, the need for global communications, etc. Then, in the more personal pieces Clarke, citizen of Sri Lanka, takes on subjects near and dear to him in a series of revealing and delightful essays . . .
