In a corporate dystopia, advertising has replaced politics and society is divided into producers, executives and consumers. Mitchell Courtenay, an elite publicist, must lead the campaign to colonize Venus; a manoeuvre by his rivals plunges him into the lowest strata, where he meets the Consies, an anti-consumerist group.
First instalment of the The Space Merchants series. The English original, The Space Merchants, was published in 1952; this Spanish edition appeared in 2006.
Recommended for readers of classic science fiction, satirical dystopias and critiques of consumerism and corporate power.
