Etat : Used. In the grand tradition of novels that dare to peek beyond the horizon of our understanding ? and perhaps regret it ? Robin Cook?s 1993 offering, "Blindsight," promises to tickle your mind in ways that might be unsettling. Here, the pulse of medical thriller meets the eerie pulse of existential dread, all bound in a cover that likely has seen better days. Gleefully straddling the line between sci-fi horror and medical intrigue, Cook invites you to ponder the very essence of consciousness? or at least to fumble around in the dark trying to find it. One can only imagine the spirited discussions that took place in the Pan Books offices, where copies of the manuscript likely flew through the air with wild abandon, accompanied by heated debates about the nature of perception. Did they think readers were ready for a narrative that could make them question their own cognitive faculties? Perhaps they believed that combining blind spots with a side of medical malpractice was the next great literary concoction. Whatever the case, this book is a playful reminder that the mind can be as unreliable as an old washing machine ? spinning wildly and occasionally leaking all over your living room floor. As you journey through the pages, expect a cavalcade of characters who may be just as lost as you are, tossing around medical terminology and philosophical musings like confetti at a dismal celebration. The author seems intent on proving that ignorance is not only bliss but perhaps the only sensible response to the horrors lurking beneath the surface of our reality. You might even find yourself wishing you had packed a metaphorical umbrella to shield against the downpour of unsettling revelations. Here are some intriguing highlights of what you might experience while wrestling with this book: A narrative style that oscillates between the clinical and the surreal, like a doctor who moonlights as a poet. Characters that appear to be more about advancing the plot than having actual personalities ? a classic Cook move. Medical jargon that could make you feel like an extra in a particularly ambitious episode of a hospital drama. Existential questions that pop up casually, as if Cook is whispering them in your ear like a mischievous ghost. Moments of sheer ridiculousness that might make you chuckle, even as the stakes soar to absurd heights. Condition: This particular copy has been lovingly used, perhaps by someone who thought they were ready for a deep philosophical dive but instead ended up just wetting their feet in a puddle of confusion. The cover bears the faint remnants of previous ownership?coffee stains, a suspicious crease, and the occasional cat hair, suggesting it was once a well-loved companion on late-night reading escapades. The pages are slightly yellowed, but they retain the delightful aroma of aged paper, mingling with a hint of existential dread. As you curl up with "Blindsight," remember that you are not just reading; you are participating in an exploration of what it means to see?or to not see?beyond the surface of reality. It?s an invitation to question your understanding of consciousness amid the chaos of medical ethics and the enigma of human experience. So grab your copy from Crappy Old Books and prepare yourself for a reading experience that is both disconcerting and oddly exhilarating?much like a rollercoaster designed by a particularly philosophical engineer. Whether this book serves as a cautionary tale about the perils of knowledge or merely a mind-bending adventure remains to be seen. But one thing is for certain: you will never look at your next medical appointment in quite the same way again. THIS BOOK BEARS THE CRAPPY OLD BOOKS STAMP. IF THAT IS UNDESIRABLE PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS. THE STAMP MARKS WHICH IS USUALLY TO THE FRONT AND BACK INNER PAGES SAYS SOLD BY CRAPPY OLD BOOKS WITH WEB SITE URL. IT IN NO WAY DEMINISHED FROM THE READING. IF YOU WANT A PRISTINE BOOK, PLEASE FIND ANOTHER BOOK IN BETTER CONDITION SOMEWHERE ELSE. N° de réf. du vendeur 984
