Synopsis
Curiosity was discouraged in the Greene tribe. Its members lived out their lives in cramped Quarters, hacking away at the encroaching ponics. As to where they were - that was forgotten.
When Roy Complain loses his wife, he decides to find out. With the renegade priest Marapper, he moves into unmapped territory, where they make a series of discoveries which turn their universe upside-down. Is their world really a world at all, or just a container moving between worlds...?
NON-STOP is the classic SF novel of discovery and exploration. 'Fascinating' Observer

Paperback. Etat : Good. Non-Stop (2004) ? Brian Aldiss SF Masterworks | ISBN: 9781857989984 Condition: Good | Sold by Crappy Old Books Imagine living your entire life in a world of narrow corridors, tangled vegetation, mysterious machinery and peculiar social customs, without the faintest idea where you are, how you got there or why nobody seems particularly interested in investigating. In other words, something rather like working in a large government department, except with more danger, fewer tea breaks and a significantly greater chance of discovering that everything you believe about existence is completely wrong. Welcome to Non-Stop , Brian Aldiss?s extraordinary science-fiction novel, a claustrophobic, unsettling and wonderfully imaginative journey into the unknown, where the greatest mystery isn?t necessarily what lies beyond the next door, but whether anyone understands what a door is supposed to be for. Originally published in 1958, this remarkable debut novel introduces Roy Complain, a member of a small, primitive community living within an apparently endless environment of overgrown compartments and artificial passages. His people survive by hunting, scavenging and obeying a collection of customs whose origins have long since disappeared into the fog of collective ignorance. Their existence is restricted, superstitious and frequently unpleasant, although at least nobody has to worry about airport security. When Complain joins an expedition into the unexplored regions beyond his familiar territory, he begins to encounter evidence that the world is considerably stranger than he has been taught. Strange technologies, conflicting explanations, unexpected inhabitants and increasingly disturbing discoveries challenge everything he believes about his surroundings. Aldiss constructs an ingenious mystery in which the reader gradually pieces together the truth alongside the characters. The result is a novel that combines exploration, psychological tension, social satire and a profound suspicion of inherited beliefs. After all, if everybody around you has believed something for generations, that doesn?t necessarily make it true. It might simply mean nobody has bothered to check. The novel belongs to that magnificent tradition of British science fiction in which civilisation has somehow gone terribly wrong, society has reorganised itself around a collection of increasingly ridiculous assumptions, and one unfortunate individual is left to discover the truth while trying not to get murdered. Beneath the adventure lies a fascinating examination of ignorance, authority, religion, cultural memory and humanity?s extraordinary ability to construct elaborate explanations for things it doesn?t understand. Aldiss asks what happens when knowledge is lost, myths become history and survival takes precedence over curiosity. This 2004 SF Masterworks edition , offered in Good condition by Crappy Old Books , presents one of the most inventive early achievements of a major British science-fiction writer. It?s an excellent choice for readers who enjoy mysterious environments, collapsing certainties and stories that reward curiosity without immediately explaining themselves. A gripping, intelligent and atmospheric novel that demonstrates how easily humanity can become imprisoned by its own limited understanding of the world. And if you happen to find yourself in an endless maze of corridors populated by people who insist everything is perfectly normal, perhaps consider asking a few awkward questions. Preferably before somebody decides you?re the problem. 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 7630
