Normal

Normal
Normal

Abyss-gazing futurists confront mental fragility.

If you're into speculative fiction with a psychological twist, Warren Ellis's "Normal" is something to consider. It's a read that delves into the minds of those who spend their lives anticipating humanity's endgame, with all the accompanying stresses and strains. Imagine a story that entangles foresight with personal deterioration, all wrapped in Ellis's sharp, darkly witty prose. This book offers not just a thought experiment but a visceral journey into the toll of knowing too much.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

A smart, tight techno-thriller set in the very near future. Two kinds of people think about the future: foresight strategists who map geo-engineering and smart cities, and strategic forecasters who anticipate geopolitical upheaval and drone warfare. When Adam Dearden, a foresight strategist, arrives at Normal Head—a secure, experimental forest in Oregon—to unplug, a patient disappears from his locked room, leaving nothing but a pile of insects. A staff investigation unfolds as surveillance tightens. As the mystery deepens, the story challenges the core principles of how and why we think about the future—and the past, and the now.
