{"product_id":"zero-k-9781509822843","title":"Zero K","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe wisest, richest, funniest, and most moving novel in years from Don \u003cbr\u003e\nDeLillo, one of the great American novelists of our time-an ode to \u003cbr\u003e\nlanguage, at the heart of our humanity, a meditation on death, and an \u003cbr\u003e\nembrace of life.Jeffrey Lockhart's father, Ross, is a \u003cbr\u003e\nbillionaire in his sixties, with a younger wife, Artis Martineau, whose \u003cbr\u003e\nhealth is failing. Ross is the primary investor in a remote and secret \u003cbr\u003e\ncompound where death is exquisitely controlled and bodies are preserved \u003cbr\u003e\nuntil a future time when biomedical advances and new technologies can \u003cbr\u003e\nreturn them to a life of transcendent promise. Jeff joins Ross and Artis\u003cbr\u003e\n at the compound to say “an uncertain farewell  to her as she surrenders\u003cbr\u003e\n her body. “We are born without choosing to be. Should we have \u003cbr\u003e\nto die in the same manner? Isn't it a human glory to refuse to accept a \u003cbr\u003e\ncertain fate?  These are the questions that haunt the novel and \u003cbr\u003e\nits memorable characters, and it is Ross Flowchart, most particularly, \u003cbr\u003e\nwho feels a deep need to enter another dimension and awake to a new \u003cbr\u003e\nworld. For his son, this is indefensible. Jeff, the book's narrator, is \u003cbr\u003e\ncommitted to living, to experiencing “the mingled astonishments of our \u003cbr\u003e\ntime, here, on earth.  Don DeLillo's seductive, spectacularly \u003cbr\u003e\nobserved and brilliant new novel weighs the darkness of the \u003cbr\u003e\nworld-terrorism, floods, fires, famine, plague-against the beauty and \u003cbr\u003e\nhumanity of everyday life; love, awe, “the intimate touch of earth and \u003cbr\u003e\nsun.  Zero K is glorious.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Don Delillo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44212648017980,"sku":"9781509822843","price":597.0,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/7706\/7836\/files\/zero-k-9781509822843.jpg?v=1776698556","url":"https:\/\/libertybooksstore.myshopify.com\/products\/zero-k-9781509822843","provider":"LibertyBooksStore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
