About This Item
HOUGHTON MIFFLIN CO@. Fair in Good dust jacket. 1956. Book Club Edition. Hardcover. Ex-Library; 21 oz.; 332 pages; Ex library HC w/DJ library markings front hinge paper cracked o/w good clean/tight condition. The Ninth Wave, published in 1956, follows a political campaign complete with then cutting-edge innovations of opinion polling, computers and the use of campaign consultants. Though we now know -- even in a world of Facebook and Obama -- that data and numbers can't quite predict and control political outcomes in the way the book lays out, the world has turned out close enough to Burdick's picture of the future to make The Ninth Wave a prescient and still relevant story, and one that should be loved by people who are into the mechanics of politics .
