What happens when some of the most original literary minds of today take an idea, a mood or a line from his work and use it to spark something new?From a future society who ask their AI servants to construct a giant tower to reach God; to a flat hunt that descends into a comically absurd bureaucratic nightmare; to a population experiencing a wave of unbearable, contagious panic attacks, these ten specially commissioned stories are by turns mind-bending, funny, unsettling and haunting. Inspired by the visionary imagination of a writer working one hundred years ago, they speak powerfully to the strangeness of being alive today.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Griffin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43280679534636,"sku":"9780349146409","price":18.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0379\/1365\/7388\/files\/9780349146409_98cf8722-49f8-4eb0-b90c-4a6be8b6b053.jpg?v=1759657993","url":"https:\/\/www.griffinbooksonline.co.uk\/products\/9780349146409","provider":"Griffin Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
