Additional quotes by John Brunner

Toffler’s Law, I guess: the future arrives too soon and in the wrong order.

How do you whip up resentment against absentee landlords and pocketers of bribes when the highest ambition of the people is either to become the former or be in a position to receive the latter?

Rot inwardly, and foul contagion spread.
