The New Fiction Bundle includes The Maniac by Benjamin Labatut, Orbital by Samatha Harvey and The Late Americans by Brandon Taylor.
The Maniac is a thrilling, kaleidoscopic book about the destructive chaos lurking in the history of computing and AI.
Orbital follows six astronauts across a day in the International Space Station. Together they watch their silent blue planet, circling it sixteen times, spinning past continents and cycling through seasons, taking in glaciers and deserts, the peaks of mountains and the swells of oceans. The fragility of human life fills their conversations, their fears, their dreams. So far from earth, they have never felt more part – or protective – of it. They begin to ask: what is life without earth? What is earth without humanity?
Seamus, Fyodor, Ivan, Noah and Fatima are running out of time to decide on their futures, in the new novel from the Booker-shortlisted author of Real Life.
The book bundle comes beautifully wrapped in brown craft paper and a green Daunt Books ribbon, making it a perfect gift.
