Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. First UK Edition. First impression of the first UK edition.

Head of spine very slightly bumped. No inscriptions. Pages bright and clean.

Spine and front and rear panels of dustwrapper bright. 248 pages. 224mm x 142mm. ***'Michael Swanwick burst onto the science fiction scene in the early 1980s with stories that immediately started appearing on Nebula and Hugo ballots for the best of the year. Then his first novel, In the Drift, was published as a prestigious Ace Special to resounding praise. Now Vacuum Flowers - vivid, fast-paced and tremendous fun - confirms Michael Swanwick as a writer of dazzling inventiveness. ***In the sprawling space civilizations of the future, where humans live in hollowed-out asteroids, tunnelled comets and other artificial habitats, Rebel Elizabeth Mudlark awakes in the Medical centre in the body of another woman. In her world brains and psyches can be re-programmed in hours, bodies cloned and copyrighted and human capabilities enhanced by instant 'wetware' programming. ***Thanks to a lab accident, Rebel's unique wetware is in demand by unscrupulous commercial agencies, so she escapes with Wyeth, a man with no fewer than four artificial personalities. Together they embark on a dangerous quest for survival and self-knowledge, an odyssey that takes them from planet to planet and eventually to Earth, whose people have integrated to form the Comprise, a vastly intelligent but malign group-mind.' ***'I devoured Vacuum Flowers. It is a brilliant, vibrant insight into the human and transhuman future--- beautifully invented, beautifully written. I'm envious.' Ian Watson. (Quote and review quote from inside front of dustwrapper blurb). 'a pyrotechnic and fast-moving tale, jam-packed with inventive detail' Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine. (Review quote from rear of dustwrapper blurb). ***First impression of the first UK edition in its original dustwrapper. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. Seller Inventory # 3347
