A series of novellas linking present day NYC to a far future with the city under a dome and cryo-resuscitation bringing an old-timer into conflict with a new and improved justice system. The concept of the new Supreme Court stays with one.

Not my favorite Pohl, but I am seldom disappointed by his work. Even when the story tends toward the unbelievable, his characters shine. With inter-linked stories, he traces the development of New York City into a flawed utopia.

One of my personal favorites! I try to re-read it every year. A set of stories strung together showing the course of New York and our society's norms. I loved the section where they incorporate a 2 year mandatory community service for every citizen: a brilliant concept.

An exploration of how social changes may change the way cities function. Quite bleak and dated but still enjoyable.
