{"product_id":"9781473214620","title":"China Mountain Zhang by Maureen F. McHugh","description":"I am Zhang, alone with my light, and in that light I think for a moment that I am free.'  Imagine a world where Chinese Marxism has  vanquished the values of capitalism and Lenin is the prophet of choice. 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.    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.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56301393117557,"sku":"9781473214620","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781473214620.jpg?v=1762790869","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781473214620","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
