Buch, das gelesen wurde, sich aber in einem guten Zustand befindet. Der Einband weist nur sehr geringfügige Beschädigungen auf, wie z.B. kleinere Schrammen, er hat aber weder Löcher, noch ist er eingerissen. Bei gebundenen Büchern ist der Schutzumschlag möglicherweise nicht mehr vorhanden. Die Bindung weist geringfügige Gebrauchsspuren auf. Die Mehrzahl der Seiten ist unbeschädigt, das heißt, es gibt kaum Knitter oder Einrisse, es wurden nur in geringem Maße Bleistiftunterstreichungen im Text vorgenommen, es gibt keine Textmarkierungen und die Randbereiche sind nicht beschrieben. Alle Seiten sind vollständig vorhanden. Genauere Einzelheiten sowie eine Beschreibung eventueller Mängel entnehmen Sie bitte dem Angebot des Verkäufers.

Reviews
"A darkly mesmerizing, fearless, and exquisitely written work. Stunning, harrowing, and brilliantly imagined." --Emily St. John Mandel, author of Station Eleven "[Weinstein's] stories look like SF--consider the childless couple living in a virtual-reality community whose child there is wiped out by a computer virus--but read like literary fiction. Calling all fans of Margaret Atwood and Emily St. John Mandel." --Barbara Hoffert, Library Journal Prepub Alert "In Alexander Weinstein's debut collection, the future is a frightening and familiar place. Weinstein takes our uneasy truce with technology and blows it up, giving us child robots and ice worlds and the dark aftermath of failed revolutions. The collection is nothing short of a gorgeous new cold war, pitting us both with and against the science that threatens to become not-so-fictional every day." --Amber Sparks, author of The Unfinished World: And Other Stories, "A darkly mesmerizing, fearless, and exquisitely written work. Stunning, harrowing, and brilliantly imagined." --Emily St. John Mandel, author of Station Eleven "[Weinstein's] stories look like SF--consider the childless couple living in a virtual-reality community whose child there is wiped out by a computer virus--but read like literary fiction.

Synopsis
Selected by Electric Literature as one of the best short story collections of 2016 AN EXTRAORDINARILY RESONANT AND PROPHETIC COLLECTION OF SPECULATIVE SHORT FICTION FOR OUR TECH- SAVVY ERA BY DEBUT AUTHOR ALEXANDER WEINSTEIN Children of the New World introduces readers to a near-future world of social media implants, memory manufacturers, dangerously immersive virtual reality games, and alarmingly intuitive robots. Many of these characters live in a utopian future of instant connection and technological gratification that belies an unbridgeable human distance, while others inhabit a post-collapse landscape made primitive by disaster, which they must work to rebuild as we once did millennia ago. In "The Cartographers," the main character works for a company that creates and sells virtual memories, while struggling to maintain a real-world relationship sabotaged by an addiction to his own creations. In "Saying Goodbye to Yang," the robotic brother of an adopted Chinese child malfunctions, and only in his absence does the family realize how real a son he has become. Children of the New World grapples with our unease in this modern world and how our ever-growing dependence on new technologies has changed the shape of our society. Alexander Weinstein is a visionary new voice in speculative fiction for all of us who are fascinated by and terrified of what we might find on the horizon., Includes "After Yang," the basis for the acclaimed A24 film After Yang , starring Colin Farrell, Jodie Turner-Smith, and Haley Lu Richardson, and directed by Kogonada.

- d***g (620)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufFortune smiled upon my quest when I discovered this merchant's offering! The item, wrapped as preciously as the shroud of Turin itself, arrived with haste that would shame a falcon. Upon first use, such joy emerged that I believed myself transported to heaven's own marketplace. Verily, this seller's honor shines brighter than a cathedral's gold! A+++, would purchase again! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Shipping: Swift as divine grace Item: Perfect as described Service: Most excellent indeed
- 8***h (402)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufBook was in great condition, as others mentioned was only packaged in a plastic bag so could have used a bit more cushion for protection but luckily it was ok for me. Was not shipped within the expected time frame and arrived a day after the expected window which was disappointing since we were going away before it arrived and it was meant to bring along with us. Listing stated arrives in 2-4 days and came on day 5 instead due to the late drop off. Great price for the book and value overall.
