Publisher Description
He was the most dangerous fugitive alive, but he didn't exist!
Nickie Haflinger had lived a score of lifetimes . . . but technically he didn't exist. He was a fugitive from Tarnover, the high-powered government think tank that had educated him. First he had broken his identity code - then he escaped.
Now he had to find a way to restore sanity and personal freedom to the computerised masses and to save a world tottering on the brink of disaster.
He didn't care how he did it . . . but the government did. That's when his Tarnover teachers got him back in their labs . . . and Nickie Haflinger was set up for a whole new education!
First published in 1975.

frightening, in a good way
everyone should read this. even if you insist that it’s not representative of the present time, you must admit that there’s an unmistakable whiff of present-ness in it—or of it in our present time. our “now” smacks of yesterday’s futuristic dystopia.
