Flow My Tears, The Policeman Said
John W. Campbell Memorial Award, 1975
Another classic novel from the world’s greatest writer of science fiction
Jason Taverner is a Six, the result of top secret government experiments forty years before which produced a handful of unnaturally bright and beautiful people … and he’s the prime-time idol of millions until, inexplicably, all record of him is wiped from the data banks of Earth. Suddenly he’s a nobody in a police state where nobody is allowed to be a nobody.
Will he ever be rich and famous again? Was he, in fact, ever rich and famous?

One of the genuine visionaries that North American fiction has produced
The most consistently brilliant SF writer in the world
