What kind of world have we made, where human beings can live centuries if only they can afford the fix? What kind of creatures have we become? The same as we always were, but keener.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn the ancient heart of Oxford University, the ultra-rich celebrate their vastly extended lifespans. But a few surprises are in store for them. From Nina and Alex, Margo and Fidget, scruffy anarchists sharing living space with an ever-shifting cast of crusty punks and lost kids. And also from the scientist who invented the longevity treatment in the first place.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eEverything Belongs to the Future\u003c\/em\u003e is a bloody-minded tale of time, betrayal, desperation, and hope that could only have been told by the inimitable Laurie Penny.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"The scariest, most enduring dystopias walk a fine line between parable and prediction. Penny erases that line. In this made-up story, the rich speciate from the poor; in our real world, working class lifespans are declining as the one percent live ever longer lives at ever-greater removes from the rest of us. This is no mere literary device. This is a pitiless allegory, calculated to enrage and terrify its readers.\" -- Cory Doctorow\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e St. Martins Press-3PL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/18\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780765388285\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 4.90w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2016\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Laurie Penny","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36642570272924,"sku":"9780765388285","price":11.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_6e686b89-644d-4712-a0a7-f685be55a57c.jpg?v=1603855088","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/everything-belongs-to-the-future-9780765388285","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
