But all is not as it seems, when a murder is committed by a prominent New Yorker and the resulting trial transfixes the city. Sparkling with witty and provocative social commentary, \u003ci\u003eThe Mere Future\u003c\/i\u003e is a startingly sharp-eyed prophecy of the world to come. Kessler Award winner Schulman's other books include \u003ci\u003eRat Bohemia, The Child, Empathy\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eTies that Bind\u003c\/i\u003e (The New Press).","brand":"Sarah Schulman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback Trade paperback (US)","offer_id":44733315580197,"sku":"9781551524245","price":15.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/7851\/4725\/products\/BNCImageAPI_f3c15f2d-9fbd-4c33-b877-3d5d5cb67c3d.jpg?v=1679348320","url":"https:\/\/crossandcrows.myshopify.com\/products\/the-mere-future","provider":"Cross \u0026 Crows Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
