The central scenario in this fantasy is the \"crash\", or collision, sometimes literal, sometimes metaphorical.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47613932863639,"sku":"9780521833929","price":12054.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780521833929.webp?v=1775089034","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/literature-technology-and-modernity-1860-2000-9780521833929","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
