Updike, John. TOWARD THE END OF TIME. Knopf, New York, 1997.
Price: US$24.25 + shipping
Condition: Near Fine
Description: Updike's 18th novel is a venture into near-future science fiction. The novel is set in 2020, in Massachusetts just north of Boston and in the aftermath of a recent war with China. The war has resulted in social chaos, but has left the life of Ben Turnbull, a 66-year-old, recently-retired investment counselor, relatively unchanged. Turnbull keeps a journal in which he notes both mundane daily happenings and ruminates about his personal identity and history in terms of the "many universes" hypothesis derived from quantum theory indeterminacy. His mind shifts from one universe and identity to another, and back and forth in time while his mortal, here-and-now physical self moves inexorably toward the end of its time. Small remainder dot on top edge of text, o/w boards and text are clean and unmarked, tight and square. The dustjacket shows a bit of minor edge wear at the spine ends, no tears, creases or other significant flaws. A collectable copy of an interesting variant in Updike's own continuing interest in the sometimes grey areas between science and religion.

Condition: As New
Description: A journal by an aging banker in which he reflects on subjects ranging from the decline of civilizations to the many-universes theory. The year is 2020 and America is in chaos following a nuclear war with China. Ben Turnbull, the hero of John Updike's 18th novel, is a 66-year-old retired investment counselor living north of Boston in the year 2020. A recent war between the United States and China has thinned the population and brought social chaos. The dollar has been locally replaced by Massachusetts scrip; instead of taxes, one pays protection money to competing racketeers. Nevertheless, Ben's life, traced by his journal entries over the course of a year, retains many of its accustomed comforts, as supervised by his vibrant wife, Gloria. He plays golf; he pays visits to his five children and 10 grandchildren. Something of a science buff, he finds his personal history caught up in the disjunctions and vagaries of the 'many-worlds' hypothesis derived from the indeterminacy of quantum theory. His identity branches into variants extending back through history and ahead in the evolution of the universe, as both it and his own mortal, nature-enshrouded existence move toward the end of time. Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. Second printing. Signed by author. Like New condition. In mylar sleeve. Signed By Author. Photos available by request.
