Jem

The discovery of another habitable world might spell salvation to the three bitterly competing power blocs of the resource-starved 21st century; but when their representatives arrive on Jem; with its multiple intelligent species; they discover instead the perfect situation into which to export their rivalries. Subtitled; with savage irony; 'The Making of a Utopia'; Jem is one of Frederik Pohl's most powerful novels.
