| Title : | This other Eden | | Material Type: | printed text | | Authors: | Ben Elton, Author | | Publisher: | London : Pocket Books | | Publication Date: | 1993 | | Pagination: | 472 p. | | ISBN (or other code): | 978-0-671-85180-4 | | Class number: | 823.914 | | Abstract: | The novel is set in the reasonably near future. Earth is being devastated by mankind's continued exploitation, and it seems obvious that the environment will collapse sometime in the near future. Rather than adopt a more eco-friendly approach to life, most people have instead invested in a "claustrosphere", a dome-shaped habitat in which all water, food and air is endlessly recycled in a completely closed environment. A person can therefore survive indefinitely within a claustrosphere no matter what ecological horrors may happen outside. A comedy about businessmen trying to make money out of the end of the world. | | Contents note: | A satirical-comedy novel by English comedian Ben Elton, first published in 1993. |
