Wolfbane drops readers into a highly regimented, stagnant society of \"Citizens\"—repressed humans who survive on minimal resources through meditative passivity—and introduces Roget Germyn, a rare \"Wolf\" who retains his volatile, independent survival instincts. When the predatory extraterrestrial masters harvest Germyn to integrate his mind into their massive, interconnected global machine complex, he must spark an underground rebellion from within the very circuits of the alien grid.\n\nThis masterful mid-century satire stands as one of the final, brilliant collaborations between genre titans Frederik Pohl and C. M. Kornbluth, offering a scathing critique of post-war social conformity and technological dependency. The authors employ a sharp, economical prose style packed with cynical wit and inventive world-building, seamlessly fusing dystopian sociological dread with hard speculative concepts. Highly regarded for its sophisticated take on the collective consciousness trope, this elusive Science Fiction Book Club printing is an essential piece for collectors tracking the golden evolutionary arc of 20th-century speculative fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48820226556123,"sku":"2026770000906-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/0f41bece-0ea8-4bfb-bf99-7ec74ac7f21a.png?v=1780054661","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026770000906-secondhand-wolfbane","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
