This Mary Shelley and Prometheus Award winner, second place Goodreads Award, Campbell finalist, and Hugo and Dragon Award nominee was adapted to the multi-award-winning Steven Spielberg directed film starring Tye Sheridan, Olivia Cooke, and Ben Mendelsohn.

A novel ahead of its time, with several near-future warning messages, including lack of workers' jobs, affordable housing near potential jobs, shortage of gasoline, and especially a lack of social skills for young people due to excessive media engagement and tiny amounts of real human face to face interaction. AND--of course, spiced with the charm of 70s and 80s pop-culture and games, and mixed with fascinating future role-playing and avatar games.

An exceptionally well-preserved first edition, first issue SIGNED collectible.
