THE SCIENCE SERVICE

The 1951 Festival of Britain provided a potent symbol of post-war optimism. Design was given a shot in the arm and designers looked resolutely toward the future. A hundred years on and history repeats itself in Rian Hughes and John Freeman's The Science Service. Against the backdrop of the 2051 Expo Britain, they have fashioned a sly thriller that follows the investigations of a retired Science Service officer into the unauthorized development of the ultimate designer accessory: Imagon, which can alter appearances... with dire consequences. Out of Print. Condition: Very Fine.
