A  cybernetic world where the new charioteers are flyers, human-powered  kites dancing in the skies over New York in a brief grab at glory. A  world where the opulence of Beijing marks a new cultural imperialism, as  wealthy urbanites flirt with interactive death in illegal speakeasies,  and where Arctic research stations and communes on Mars are haunted by  their own fragile dangers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A world of fear and hope, of  global disaster and slow healing, where progress can only be found in  the cracks of a crumbling hegemony. This is the world of Zhang. An anti-hero  who's still finding his way, treading a path through a totalitarian  order - a path that just might make a difference.","brand":"Gollancz","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47643003617566,"sku":"9781473214620","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0571\/2642\/0664\/products\/9781473214620-original.jpg?v=1768634209"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0571\/2642\/0664\/collections\/getimage_771934f1-da48-4921-b68c-e6157db0b4f9.jpg?v=1783232540","url":"https:\/\/store.gollancz.co.uk\/collections\/author-maureen-f-mchugh-1.oembed","provider":"Gollancz","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
