Fritz Leiber
Set in a bleak consumerist society, The Green Millennium follows the disenchanted Phil Gish as he navigates a world dominated by conformity, surveillance, and hollow pleasures. When he encounters a radiant green cat, his reality shifts-and so does the attention of secretive government agencies, corporate cults, and criminal enterprises. This introspective, genre-defying novel explores the boundaries of personal freedom and the human yearning for connection in a mechanized world. A cornerstone of postwar speculative fiction, it critiques not only the future, but the era from which it emerged.
