Haller sa spojí s novinárom Jackom McEvoyom, ktorý chce byť pri tomto prípade iba pozorovateľom, lebo sa chystá o procese napísať knihu, no Haller ho naplno zapojí do práce. McEvoyovo pátranie nakoniec prinesie vytúžené ovocie: kľúčového svedka. V hre sú miliardy dolárov a všetkým zúčastneným ide o život.

    • Exploring the intersection of art and technology, the book recounts the development of Art1, a pioneering computer program created in 1968 at the University of New Mexico. Driven by Richard Williams and inspired by Charles Mattox, this initiative aimed to unify the seemingly disparate worlds of avant-garde art and complex scientific theories. Frederick Hammersley’s prolific output using Art1 is highlighted, alongside 50 illustrations by notable artists. Interviews with key figures provide insight into Art1's significant influence on early digital creativity and its lasting legacy.

      WINNER OF THE SPECSAVERS NATIONAL BOOK AWARDS 2013 BOOK OF THE YEAR Dive into a magical novel of memory and the adventure of childhood, from one of the brightest, most brilliant writers of our generation. It began for our narrator forty years ago when the family lodger stole their car and committed suicide in it, stirring up ancient powers best left undisturbed. Dark creatures from beyond the world are on the loose, and it will take everything our narrator has just to stay alive: there is primal horror here, and menace unleashed - within his family and from the forces that have gathered to destroy it. His only defense is three women, on a farm at the end of the lane. The youngest of them claims that her duckpond is an ocean. The oldest can remember the Big Bang. THE OCEAN AT THE END OF THE LANE is a fable that reshapes modern fantasy: moving, terrifying and elegiac - as pure as a dream, as delicate as a butterfly's wing, as dangerous as a knife in the dark.
