From a literary master, a moving and genre-bending story about our era-spanning search for meaning and knowingAn uncertain near-future. A story of new boundaries drawn between peop le daily. A not-very brave new world. Add two children. And a horse.From a Scottish word meaning a transient moment, a shock, a faint glimpse, Gliff explores how and why we endeavour to make a mark on the world. In a time when western industry wants to reduce us to algorithms and data—something easily categorizable and predictable—Smith shows us why our humanity, our individual complexities, matter more than ever.
