{"product_id":"folded-sky-elizabeth-bear-9781473233546","title":"Folded Sky","description":"Dr. Sunyata Song must travel across the Milky Way to learn to communicate with the greatest discovery of her century: an artificial intelligence the size of a stellar system, in Hugo Award-winning author Bear's next science fiction epic.\nInformation doesn't want to be free. Information wants to vanish without a trace.\nSunya Song's job is to stop that from happening.\nShe's an archinformist: a specialist historian whose job usually involves sitting at a console at her university job near the Galactic Core, sorting ancient documents and restoring corrupted files. But now, the research opportunity of a lifetime has sent her - and her family - halfway across the galaxy to save the archaeological find of the century: an ancient alien artificial intelligence called the Baomind.\nAs vast as a stellar system, the Baomind orbits a dying red giant, and the star's time has nearly ended.\nThe remote research station and its small fleet of ships come under attack by fanatic Freeport pirates who believe that artificial intelligence is an abomination that must be destroyed, putting the lives of Sunya and her family at risk.\nTens of thousands of light years from home, isolated from all help, Sunya is the only one who can save them all.\nPraise for Elizabeth Bear\n'Like the best of speculative fiction, Bear has created a fascinating and complete universe\nthat blends high-tech gadgetry with Old World adventure and political collusion' Publishers Weekly\n'Elizabeth Bear is just as comfortable writing steampunk and fantasy as she is hard science fiction, and [the White Space novels] brim with heady concepts and sleek far-future hardware' Financial Times\n'Awesome, awe-inspiring space opera. Fittingly, it shifts from weighty themes to lighter humour with dexterity, grace and crackling dialogue' Daily Mail","brand":"Orion Publishing Co","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50318798946592,"sku":"9781473233546","price":17.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781473233546.jpg?v=1785351672","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/folded-sky-elizabeth-bear-9781473233546","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
