{"product_id":"9781785653193","title":"The City in the Middle of the Night by Charlie Jane Anders","description":"\"If you control our sleep, then you can own our dreams... And from there, it's easy to control our entire lives.\"From the brilliant mind of Charlie Jane Anders (\"A master absurdist\"-New York Times; \"Virtuoso\"-NPR) comes a new novel of Kafkaesque futurism. Set on a planet that has fully definitive, never-changing zones of day and night, with ensuing extreme climates of endless, frigid darkness and blinding, relentless light, humankind has somehow continued apace-though the perils outside the built cities are rife with danger as much as the streets below.   But in a world where time means only what the ruling government proclaims, and the levels of light available are artificially imposed to great consequence, lost souls and disappeared bodies are shadow-bound and savage, and as common as grains of sand. And one such pariah, sacrificed to the night, but borne up by time and a mysterious bond with an enigmatic beast, will rise to take on the entire planet--before it can crumble beneath the weight of human existence.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56305482531189,"sku":"9781785653193","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781785653193.jpg?v=1762797624","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781785653193","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
