Where Late The Sweet Birds Sang

by Kate Wilhelm

Gateway/Hachette

  This is brilliantly written and thus terrifying. The ecological disaster is too close for comfort and you need only substitute AI for cloning to be genuinely frightened. Still, the characters are very well drawn and it does end with hope. It was written in 1976!
