Air: or Have Not Have

Air: or Have Not Have

Geoff Ryman

Ovaj izvanredni roman govori o učincima nove komunikacijske tehnologije, Air, koja radi bez dalekovoda ili strojeva.

Dok sveprisutna tehnologija osigurava brzo širenje pop kulture i pristup informacijama, malo je kutaka planeta ostalo netaknuto. Jedno od tih nekoliko je Kizuldah, Karzistan - malo selo u kojem se uzgaja riža, pretežno kinesko budističko, ali s jakim muslimanskim prisustvom, među kojima je oštroumna, iako nepismena Mae Chung, samozvana modna stručnjakinja koja vodi seoske žene u odijevanju, šminkanju i frizuri, neformalni vođa.

Kada UN odluči testirati radikalnu novu tehnologiju Air, Mae iskuhava rublje i razgovara sa starijom gospođom Tung. Preplavljuje ih ogroman val energije zraka, a kada je test gotov, gospođa Tung je mrtva, a Mae je upila svojih 90 godina sjećanja. Potresen neočekivanim smrtima i dezorijentiranošću, UN odgađa potpunu provedbu Aira, ali Mae odmah vidi da njezin način života završava. Poluluda, boreći se s preopterećenošću informacijama, ogorčenošću velikog dijela sela i složenom obiteljskom situacijom, žestoko radi kako bi naučila što joj je potrebno da zajaše tigra promjene.
