SAME SAME - PETER MENDELSUND KARTONIERT (TB)

In the shifting sands of the desert  near an unnamed metropolis  there is an institute where
various fellows come to undertake projects of great significance. But when our sort-of hero 
Percy Frobisher  arrives  surrounded by the simulated environment of the glass-enclosed dome of
the Institute  his mind goes completely blank. When he spills something on his uniform a major
faux pas he learns about a mysterious shop where you can take something  utter the command same
same  and receive a replica even better than the original. Imagining a world in which simulacra
have as much value as the real so much so that any distinction between the two vanishes  and
even language seeks to reproduce meaning through ever more degraded copies of itself Peter
Mendelsund has crafted a deeply unsettling novel about what it means to exist and to create . .
. and a future that may not be far off.
