Book Description
================
The New Era, several thousand years in the future, seems a utopia. War,
poverty, hunger and pollution are all obsolete.
Overpopulation has been handled by dividing the population into seven
groups, each fraction living one day a week while the others await
in suspended animation. Farmer's Dayworld chronicled the life of a man
whose unique abilities allowed him to assume a different identity for
each day.
As this sequel opens, he has been caught and is being questioned. Escaping
from his Manhattan prison, he flees to the wilds of New Jersey,
falling in with a rebel group hiding out in caves. Along with them,
he journeys to Los Angeles and contacts a larger subversive organization
bent on radical change. Although the image of a populace voluntarily
entering temporary ``coffins'' is another
of Farmer's striking mythic variations on civilization and its discontents,
its fictional working out has the same mix of intrigue and
illogic as the earlier novel

It is 3414 A.D. The world has become so crowded
that the New Era government has decreed a vertical
calendar
during which each person is allowed to live one day
each
week. The rest of the time the person is in a state
of
suspended animation. Jeff Caird is a "daybreaker,"
a
criminal; he lives every day of the week. Caird is
pursuing
the mad genius Chang Castor, and is being pursued
by
government investigators. Some strong language.
