Headless World

Unknown Author

4.9/5 (23680 ratings)

Description:Composed of one hundred thirty-one chapters divided midway by a solid red page, Headless World is a strangely alluring, disturbingly prophetic, and comically horrifying fiction that's both vintage Ascher/Straus and something quite new. Impressionistic, disruptive, and hermetic, this novel skates along the narrow edges between human reality and inhuman fantasy as it confronts the invention of Time within the universe of human experience, memory and desire. Amid saturated colors, sensual cravings, sonic banality, red herrings and theatrical cruelty, quietly looming off-stage is a disquieting trans-human future-in-waiting. . . . (And all of this has something to do with the characters losing their heads.)Headless World is "a strange object, unlike any other book you’ll ever read, relentless, hilarious, a ferocious trance, a secret key. The final Ascher/Straus novel will help you think about time and memory and what’s been missing from the screens that replaced our heads—almost all of us, almost everything. A brilliant lucid dream about technologies that continue to root so deeply into reality that they’ve become the fairy tales we recite to children as we’re decapitating them one more time.”—Stephen Beachy, author of The Whistling Song and Distortion“The hope of transcendence arrives in the form of a novel that escapes the spoor of endless mechanical reproduction, in a narrative-channel that defies any viral popular culture logic—it’s a 'twirling spindle of infinity,' a black hole devouring itself as it churns. I’m so in love with this book.” — Rachel Nagelberg, author of The Fifth WallWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
