Now imagine that the Europeans arriving in the New World had chanced on these primitive creatures and seized the opportunity to establish a hierarchy in which the sapiens were masters and the \"sims\" were their slaves.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This is the premise that drives the incomparable Harry Turtledove's \u003ci\u003eA Different Flesh\u003c\/i\u003e. The acclaimed Hugo Award winner creates an alternate America that spans three hundred years of invented history. From the Jamestown colonists' desperate hunt for a human infant kidnapped by a local sim tribe, to a late-eighteenth-century contest between a newfangled steam-engine train and the popular hairy-elephant-pulled model, to the sim-rights activists' daring 1988 rescue of an unfortunate biped named Matt who's being used for animal experimentation, Turtledove turns our world inside out in a remarkable science fiction masterwork that explores what it truly means to be human.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Open Road Media Science \u0026amp; Fantasy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/29\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781504052337\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 300\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.76lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.99h x 5.24w x 0.67d","brand":"Harry Turtledove","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36655197421724,"sku":"9781504052337","price":18.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_124180e3-4b25-44a4-8fa2-c83404029350.jpg?v=1603884967","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/a-different-flesh-9781504052337","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
