System is curious and anxious – and seems to know about every aspect of life on NOVA, but in some ways knows nothing at all. Kalla is sceptical, smart and increasingly troubled by what can and can’t be measured. Together, System and Kalla circle around questions of democracy, labour, memory, entropy and love. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs it moves between scenes of work, public ritual and speculative reflections on systems theory and time, and as NOVA itself coasts, rotates and persists in its unknowable form, the novel asks disarming questions: what might it mean to have on-demand access to the voice of the world? What would we do with that knowledge? And is it possible for a world to be meaningfully organised at all? ","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47417532907756,"sku":"9781776923076","price":34.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/bfa06d3a7cfbb78c19cf9d836bdd8a68.jpg?v=1774307212"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/tim-corballis.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
