Inter Ice Age 4
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Inter Ice Age 4 (第四間氷期, Daiyon kampyōki) is an early novel by Japanese writer Kobo Abe written in 1959.
Plot elements include submersion of the world caused by melting polar ice, genetic creation of gilled children for the coming underwater age, and a fortune-telling computer predicting the future and advising humans how to deal with it [1]. The fish-children seem the chillingly unemotional future of humanity.
