Add to basketFirst edition/printing. Book and jacket (in a protector) each in As New, unread condition. No UK edition. Signed by author. " he Impossible Bird (2002) again sets itself into unstable ground: Earth has been invaded by benevolent Aliens in saucers who ? wishing to pass on the ambivalent benefits of some sort of Immortality to their mortal subjects ? arrange for the "souls" of dead humans to enjoy a form of resurrection as programmes in a Virtual Reality enclave. The story itself, which begins as a moderately orthodox Posthumous Fantasy [see The Encyclopedia of Fantasy under links below], complicatedly unpacks into a family romance irradiated by Memes of Transcendence.
