{"product_id":"babbages-dream","title":"Babbage's Dream","description":"In Neil Aitken's exquisite poems, Charles Babbage, inventor and thinker comes to life in an array of stunning images. The poems spark and leap in exhilarating assemblages as we piece together the narrative behind the concept of the programmable computer but further beyond, Aitken invites us to ask questions about consciousness, thought, and who we are in our daily lives. The jolt of the past comes back as \"the bit of code we've let loose in the dark\" and the fractals return as a heart in mourning. This is a transfixing book on memory, the human mind, and the possibility of rebirth in unexpected but musical planes.\n—Oliver de la Paz, Author of Requiem for the Orchard\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1939675472\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1939675472.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Aitken, Neil\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
