All, that is, except for 0.005% of the male population, the "seedies," who are kept in isolated clinical redoubts. Here they are milked of the precious fertile seed on which the future of human life depends. They are hated for obvious reasons, by the sterile "randies" and "queers" who comprise the two main male divisions of society outside the "seedies" sealed world. Tim, a fifteen year old, is spending a day in the outside world aiming to impregnate an outsider but gets caught up with a drug-taking gang and finds his life at risk. This thought-provoking, adventurous novel marks the debut on the science-fiction scene of a striking and original new talent.* This is a GOOD copy of the 1st./1st. with minor shelf/reading wear & considerable tanning.*
