The Emotion Dealer, and other stories
£12.99
Jack Remiel Cottrell's second book of short fiction ushers the reader into a liminal world of grief and dreams. Stories of heartbreak and betrayal jostle with incisive cautionary tales about self-aware AI, deranged algorithms, memory transplants and bionic enhancements. 'The Emotion Dealer' is a kaleidoscopic exploration of technology, art, cities, capitalism, disinformation, loneliness and greed. It is a guide for our troubled moment and a book that will make you wonder what - if anything - we are leaving for those who come after us.
