You steer your magic carpet with a neural network and attend identity-swap parties. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eGnosisNet, a software that will render politicians and police obsolete, is set to roll out. An expat psychonaut known as the Outernationalist has designed its neurotransmitter algorithms. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut the Outernationalist meets Najwa, the ex-sultan's court storyteller who filibusters his work with stories, anti-stories, and quantum stories-forcing him to rethink his alliance within the coming political upheaval. While chasing down her past, he learns that her storytelling engine is powered by the Black Light, a deadly by-product given off by GnosisNet's elected stewards.\u003cbr\u003eHe must \"go analog\" while visiting illumination farms and long-lost cities in search of the tools needed to fight the war over bandwidth and help others reclaim the sovereignty of the senses. He struggles to shake Najwa's hold on his reality-all while enduring head-cluttering pop-up ads, online litigation, and magic lamps full of utility fog. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eANGELS WITH ENGINE FAILURE is a literary cyber-fable, a cross between The Arabian Nights and The Matrix. It is an indictment on a technology hellbent on eliminating our privacy, as much as it is a meditation on narrative and its power to subvert and inspire.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 368\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.82 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 16, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48261432639709,"sku":"9781732028272","price":24.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/RRMpxlSaku9781732028272.webp?v=1785076769","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/angels-with-engine-failure-paperback","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
