Was there maybe a re-release? I think I came across the book in about
1976. I recall a brand-new paperback.

It was, as far as I'm concerned, very up-to-date for something that
was already twenty years old. For a genre that's supposed to be about
the future, it's often struck me as ironic that SF very quickly seems
outdated in both topic and language.
