{"product_id":"laugh-lines-2","title":"Laugh Lines","description":"Ben Bova, best-selling and award-winning author of the “Grand\nTour” and “Asteroid Wars” series, takes a sardonic look at the\nhumorous possibilities of future technology. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Starcrossed: Bill\nOxnard, a young technological genius, had perfected true three-dimensional\ntelevision, making ordinary TV obsolete. He thought he would be rich and\nfamous—but he hadn’t realized how deranged the executives running\nthe industry were; nor what sort of programs they were planning to broadcast\nusing the new process in the maniacal quest for ratings. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCyberbooks:\nCarl Lewis has a dream—to make books accessible and affordable to every\nperson in the country, and thinks his “cyberbook,” about as large\nand as cheap as a pocket calculator, will make it possible for anyone to\ndownload books directly and cheaply. But he has no idea what he’s about to\nget into, nor does the lovely but naïve Loai Tashkajian. Will they survive\nthis foray into the cut-throat world of big publishing? And just who is suddenly\nmurdering all those nice elderly people on the streets of New York, anyway?\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese two full-length novels of twistedly comic, but very possible\nfutures, plus several shorter works, add up to a generous volume of futuristic\nfun and hilarious high-tech. \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Baen Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54250847240536,"sku":"9781416555605","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781416555605_a2394394-d279-478c-93c0-dc85938783ea.jpg?v=1764691242","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/laugh-lines-2","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
