Limes inferior (Latin for lower limit) is a social science fiction dystopian novel written in 1982 by the Polish author Janusz A. Zajdel. Limes inferior, one of Zajdel's best known works, is a dystopia showing a grim vision of a future society resulting from a merger of the two systems competing at the time - communism and capitalism.

Book Details
First Sentence
"Sponad wody wstawała subtelna mgiełka — delikatny woal dający miękkość zarysowi miasta, którego panorama wyglądała stąd jak wąska, szara wstążka, u góry postrzępiona w fantazyjne ząbki i rozpostarta wzdłuż granicy wody i nieba."
