Kuhusu kitabu pepe hiki

Intelligent clothing, superhero dictators, contagion-carrying computer games, cross-species reproduction... Welcome to the strange and startling world of Adam Marek; a menagerie of futuristic technology, sinister traditions and scientifically-grounded superpowers a place where the absurd and the mundane are not merely bedfellows, but interbreed.

Pulsing at the core of Adam Marek's much-anticipated second collection is a single, unifying theme: a parent s instinct to protect a particularly vulnerable child. Whether set amid unnerving visions of the near-future, or grounded in the domestic here-and-now, these stories demonstrate that, sometimes, only outright surrealism can do justice to the merciless strangeness of reality, only the fantastically illogical can steel us against what ordinary life threatens.
