{"product_id":"near-future","title":"Near Future","description":"\u003cp\u003eSuzannah Evans’ debut collection \u003ci\u003eNear Future\u003c\/i\u003e is doom-pop-poetry with an apocalyptic edge, a darkly humorous journey through sci-fi lullabies and northern mysteries. This is a future simulation stripped of the space-age gloss of progression - one where the robots have gone rogue and the hopes of a new millennium are malfunctioning; this is a skewed yet oddly familiar world gone uncannily wrong.\u003cbr\u003e These playful, sharp, poems are also about more than dystopias and five types of possible apocalypse - in looking at the worst-case scenarios, Evans comes closer to the bigger narrative; universal truths of change, whether man-made or natural, preventable of inevitable, and the uncertain business of human existence where ''there are disasters that you cannot prepare yourself for''. Evans brings a distinctive, skilful and wonderfully peculiar roving eye to our restless and unpredictable times. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57307283915134,"sku":"NW9781911027461","price":9.72,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781911027461.jpg?v=1778712654","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/near-future","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
