«Les torres de l'oblit» is the science fiction novel by George Turner, published by Columna CAT in paperback (300 pages, in Catalan).
In 2041, the greenhouse effect has brought humanity to the brink of collapse: food production fails and the dispossessed, the 'infra', live confined in enormous towers along the coast. The family of young Francis Conway, until then integrated among the privileged 'supra', falls into poverty and must survive while the powerful decide the fate of the tower dwellers.
Winner of the Arthur C. Clarke Award and finalist for the Nebula Award. Original title: The Sea and Summer (1987); Catalan translation by Mercè Ubach Dorca.
For readers of dystopian science fiction and climate fiction seeking a novel with social depth.
George Reginald Turner was an Australian writer and critic, best known for the science fiction novels written in the later part of his career. His first science fiction story and novel appeared in 1978, when he was in his early sixties. By this point, however, he had already achieved success as a mainstream novelist, including a Miles Franklin Award, and as a literary critic.
