She's a self-styled fashion expert, guiding the village women in dress, make-up and hairstyle, which makes her an informal village leader. When the UN decides to test Air - a radical new technology that works without power lines or machines - Mae finds herself with the memories of a deceased village elder, Mrs Tung. Struggling with information overload, the resentment of much of the village, and a complex family situation, Mae works fiercely to learn what she needs to ride the tiger of change. Geoff Ryman's triumphant return to science fiction is a powerful, evocative story of information technology in a changing world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Geoff Ryman","offers":[{"title":"400 pages \/ 14\/05\/2026 \/ Science fiction","offer_id":57044584431991,"sku":"9781399640398","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0682\/9454\/1624\/files\/9781399640398.jpg?v=1780933983","url":"https:\/\/gulpfictionbooks.com\/products\/9781399640398","provider":"Gulp Fiction","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
