of Rosemary's Baby

Thirteen hundred Madison Avenue, an elegant 'sliver'
building, soars high and narrow over Manhattan's smart Upper East Side. Kay
Norris, a successful single woman, moves on to the twentieth floor of the
building, high on hopes of a fresh start and the glorious Indian summer
outside. But she doesn't know that someone is listening to her. Someone is
watching
her.

Chip is a good, obedient citizen of the brave new
world. A world where sex is programmed and regular treatments keep people
docile. A world where everyone is scheduled to die at the age of sixty-two, for
efficiency.

But Chip encounters a group of subversives who tempt
him with ideas of freedom, original thought and love. The dilemma that ensues
is both horrific and irresistible.
