What is Limbo (ace Sf, A-3) about?
Although Bernard Wolfe has written several plays, most for television, it is principally for his 1952 science fiction novel Limbo that he's best remembered. Penguin Books republished this work in a slightly abridged form in 1961, claiming it was "the first book of science fiction to project the present-day concept of 'cybernetics' to its logical conclusion". Taken from this viewpoint, Limbo is an early example of the New Wave movement in science fiction, and could even be argued to be a precocious predecessor of the cyberpunk literature of the 1980s. Limbo takes place largely in the future year 1990: for that reason, its British editions are titled Limbo '90.
