About This Book
"A remarkable tour de force" by the acclaimed author and philosopherâa classic science fiction "thriller with depth" for fans of 1984 and Brave New World ( The New York Times ). After the psychological revolution opened humankind's minds to an all-new form of consciousness, society split in two. On the Earth's surface rules Alpha, the benevolent, all-powerful dictator who's constant ministrations have left his subjects undeniably happy and satisfied but also obedient and unquestioning. Below the surface lies the kingdom of the Moleâthe gloomy domain of an even darker and crueler leader. Embittered by his lot underground, he leads his people on a revolt against their obsequious overhead counterparts. And their ultimate weapon is nearly readyâa man who has been genetically and psychologically molded to be a near-perfect double of the Alpha. A covert agent who, once in place, could change the fate of both civilizationsâand humanity itselfâforever. Both a brilliant examination of human identity, and a gripping science fiction narrative, Doppelgangers is a dystopian novel decades ahead of its time.
