Counter-Clock World by Philip K Dick

Pre-empting novels such as the Booker Prize-winning Times Arrow by as much as twenty years, Counter-Clock world is a story of racial tensions told against the background of the year 1998 in which time flows in reverse as people are born old only to grow younger and younger.

'One of the most original practitioners writing any kind of fiction'
Sunday Times

'No other writer of his generation had such a powerful intellectual presenceHe has stamped himself not only on our memories but in our imaginations' Brian W. Aldiss

'The most consistently brilliant SF writer in the world' John Brunner
