Einstein's Monsters by Martin Amis

Martin Amis, 'Einstein's Monsters,' published by Vintage Books, A Division of Random House, New York.  First published in 1978, this copy is the stated first Vintage International Edition of March, 1990. Einstein's Monsters is a 149 page softcover measuring 8" x 5 1/4".  The condition is very good, with no indication of ever being read.  Book Summary Like 1984 and Brave New World, Einstein's Monsters projects a harrowing vision of a imminent, though not inevitable, future for humankind.  These powerfully imagined stories depict the world before and after a nuclear holocaust.  From "The Little Puppy That Could," a bizarre evolutionary fable about a dragonlike canine, to "The Immortals," in which the whole of human history winds down to the deranged recollections of a dying man, these stories present a vivid, frightening world inhabited by "Einstein's monsters, not fully human"--people dehumanized by the threat of nuclear war as well as postwar survivors deformed by its results.  Togethe
