A gripping future history

After reading the world of tiers and riverworld seires completely, i regarded Phil Farmer as a great science fiction author. then i read "rider of the purple wage". Now i regard him as one of the best science fiction authors. It tells the story of an artist in the far future where there is no need for jobs and people lay on their rumps all day watching the "fido". masterfully written!
