Steinhoff interrogates the body in relation to the self and to an indifferent world while offering a poignant critique of how quickly new worlds forget the past. \"In a country where they're trained to shed \/ old women like out-of-fashion coats,\" she writes, \"Now that the face is nothing to anyone but a video.\" And with that, the reader is instructed to never stop asking questions of \"the narrow path that is given\" by [the] technological colonization of the body. With moments of heartfelt lyricism that connect the reader back to nature, Steinhoff shows us how to resist and push back against all our man-made catastrophes by grounding us in the art of language. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e-John McCarthy, \u003c\/b\u003e \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eGhost County; Scared Violent Like Horses\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 58\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.14 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 13, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42126085783687,"sku":"9798985969269","price":17.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/edcbad62a09628277ef3be8b7b8b903b_d209457b-d399-4b23-8697-e44400fafb23.webp?v=1732581033","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/history-of-the-future-paperback-1","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
