In a dying world where humans are drugged and lulled by electronic bliss, where there are no children, where some would rather burn themselves alive than endure, Spofforth is the most perfect machine ever created. But his only desire is cease to be. Yet there is hope in the passion and joy that a man and a woman discover in love and in books, hope for the future, hope even for Spofforth.

Walter Tevis was an American novelist and short story writer. Whilst a student at the University of Kentucky, Tevis worked in a pool hall and published a story about the game for an English class. He would later revisit his love for pool in the novels THE HUSTLER (1959) and THE COLOR OF MONEY (1984), both of which would be adapted into multiple award-winning films starring Paul Newman. Among his other works, THE MAN WHO FELL TO EARTH (1963) and MOCKINGBIRD (1980) are considered masterpieces of science fiction. Tevis died in 1984.
