{"product_id":"foam-world-thor-spendel-9781068675003","title":"Foam World","description":"Engineer \/ inventor \/ entrepreneur Benstan enters a 'build-a-gizmo-from-junk' contest and wins it with a super-light SUV made from a variety of high-spec plastic foams, foam composites and repurposed electronics and software. This sets him on a course of foam-powered creativity, building a variety of artefacts from floating towns to space relay stations. His ambition grows with his mastery of foam engineering and associated hardware and software wizardry, culminating in a planned expedition to Mars. Seemingly his reach exceeds his grasp, with prohibitive costs putting an end to his plans. That is, until circumstances conspire to make them necessary... This is the first in a sequence of novelettes exploring interactions between humans and their machine extensions and equivalents: robots, androids, cyborgs, SuperAIs, augments, and the tek they develop and use to survive in a warmed world and beyond.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thor Spendel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1068675004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781068675003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Thorspendelbx\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/06\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 118\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.37lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.25d","brand":"Thor Spendel","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48801112129791,"sku":"9781068675003","price":15.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/foam-world-thor-spendel-9781068675003","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
