The Inverted World by Christopher Priest

To my mother and father


Wheresoe’er I turn my view,

All is strange, yet nothing new;

Endless labour all along,

Endless labour to be wrong.

—SAMUEL JOHNSON

AUTHOR’S NOTE

Some of the situations described in this novel were incorporated into a short story entitled “The Inverted World,” which was first published in England in New Writings in SF — 22 by Sidgwick Jackson Ltd.

Beyond a slight duplication of background and the inclusion of a few similarly named characters, there is not much between the two that is common.
