## CONSIDER HER WAYS AND OTHERS by John Wyndham 1971. Another Sci-FI book from a master Author ## ## ## THIS BOOK: This book is classified: as VERY GOOD: This is the 1971 edition: First time published in 1936 by Michael Joseph and first published in Penguin Books 1965, reprinted in 1968, 1952, 1970 and 1971, 1960. As usual, the page edges are slightly discoloured because of the paper's age and quality; minor bumping. There is no age for this book — it is a brilliant story for everybody. ## ## Consider Her Ways" is a 1956 science fiction novella by English writer John Wyndham. It was republished as part of a 1961 collection entitled Consider Her Ways and Others, which forms over a third of the book. It initially appeared as one-third of the anthology, sometimes, never, with "Boy in Darkness" by Mervyn Peake and "Envoy Extraordinary" by William Golding.## ##Jane, a woman from the present day, has taken a drug called chuinjuatin, which induces out-of-body experiences. She wakes up not as herself but in a bloated body unknown to her. Initially, having amnesia. She has mentally time-travelled into the future. Society in this time period made up only of women, organized into a strict caste hierarchy. She is a member of the mother caste. Jane's initial contacts have not even heard of men; they believe her to be mad.## ## Doctors consent to take Jane to meet Laura, an aged historian. Jane learns she has only travelled a little more than a century. Not long into her future, a Dr Perrigan unintentionally created a virus which killed all men. A small educated elite, mainly in the medical profession, salvaged the catastrophe-stricken world, and devised a way for women to reproduce artificially. They took inspiration from Chapter 6, verse 6 of the Book of Proverbs's "Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise" and created a caste-based society. Laura is certain that men were oppressors of women and that the world is far better without them. Jane, a happily married woman in her own time, disagrees. ## ## Distressed, Jane requests that she be administered another dose of chuinjuatin to return home. The method works. Jane, in the present, sets out to stop Dr Perrigan at all costs. The story ends on an ambiguous note and suggests that a predestination paradox may doom her efforts.## ## INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: Please Note. FREE SHIPPING IS UK ONLY.
