Gliff : a novel / Ali Smith.

Smith, Ali, 1962- (author.).

Summary:

"From a literary master, a moving and genre-bending story about our era-spanning search for meaning and knowing. Gliff explores how and why we endeavor to make a mark on the world. In a time when western industry wants to reduce us to algorithms and data--something easily categorizable and predictable--Smith shows us why our humanity, our individual complexities, matter more than ever"-- Provided by publisher.

    The book's title comes from a Scottish word meaning a shock or a faint glimpse, which is appropriate for award-winning Smith's (Companion Piece) genre-bending near-future novel, expected to be the first in a duology. The story explores the search for meaning and the importance of humanity in an uncertain future, where algorithms and data predict, dominate, and divide. Prepub Alert. Copyright 2024 Library Journal
