The World Jones Made (1956) Signed First Edition Reference

The World Jones Made was published as an Ace Double in 1956. Floyd Jones can see one year into the future — a power that makes him a political demagogue and a tragic figure. The novel explores the burden of precognition and the ways that foreknowledge can be weaponized for political control — themes that Dick would revisit throughout his career.

An early Dick title that prefigures Minority Report and other works dealing with precognition. The Ace Double format and the era of publication make signed copies vanishingly rare.
