He's been hailed a prophet and a diagnostician, and a century after his death, his unique perspective on the anxieties, injustices, and rapidly shifting belief systems of the modern world continues to speak to our contemporary moment. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom a future society who ask their AI servants to construct a giant tower to reach God; to an apartment search that descends into a comically absurd bureaucratic nightmare; to a population experiencing a wave of unbearable, contagious panic attacks, these ten specially commissioned stories are by turns mind-bending, funny, unsettling and haunting. Inspired by a twentieth-century visionary, they speak powerfully to the strangeness of being alive today.","brand":"Catapult","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45028417503383,"sku":"9781646222636","price":1176.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781646222636.webp?v=1768542241","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/a-cage-went-in-search-of-a-bird-ten-kafkaesque-stories-9781646222636-b","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
