{"product_id":"9781770462540","title":"Mooncop by Tom Gauld","description":"Living on the moonWhatever were we thinking? ...It seems so silly now. The  lunar  colony  is  slowly  winding  down,  like  a  small town  circumvented  by  a  new  super  highway.  As  our  hero, the Mooncop, makes his daily rounds, his beat grows ever smaller, the population dwindles. A young girl runs away, a dog breaks off his leash, an automaton wanders off from the Museum of the Moon. Each day that the Mooncop goes to work, life gets a little quieter and a little lonelier.  As in Goliath, Tom Gauld's retelling of the Bible story, the focus in Gauld's science fiction is personal-no big explo-sions or grand reveals, just the incremental dissolution of an  abandoned  project  and  a  person's  slow  awakening  to his  own  uselessness.  Depicted  in  the  distinctive,  matter-of-fact style of his beloved Guardian strips,  Mooncop is equal parts funny and melancholy. Gauld  captures essential truths about humanity, making this a story of the past, present, and future, all in one.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56304304095605,"sku":"9781770462540","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781770462540.jpg?v=1762795655","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781770462540","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
