(#154249) CONTEXT. John Meaney.

CONTEXT. London, New York, Toronto, Sydney, Auckland: Bantam Press, [2002]. Octavo, boards. First edition. The author's third novel and the second book of the Nulapeiron Sequence. "Meaney came to wide notice with the Nulapeiron Sequence -- comprising PARADOX (November 1994 INTERZONE as "Parallax Transform"; much exp 2000), CONTEXT (2002) and RESOLUTION (2005) -– set underground in a moderately distant future where rigid class divisions are maintained by technofixes and the claims of the ruling class to inhabit the past, present and future simultaneously, creating a stranglehold over reality and a monopoly on predictions. The series protagonist, who has access to a fractal-universe portal in the shape of an "info-crystal", upsets the apple cart; later volumes introduce plagues, Aliens, and the threat (or promise) of transcendence." - John Clute, SFE (online). Sargent, British and American Utopian Literature, 1986-2009. A fine copy in fine dust jacket. (#154249).

Price: $35.00
