Book
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A prescient 1970s sci-fi novel about death, celebrity, and the ubiquity of reality television, and the basis for the movie Death Watch.Katherine Mortenhoe lives in a near future very similar to the present day. Only in her time, dying from anything but old age is unheard of; death has been cured. So when Katherine is diagnosed with a terminal brain disease brought on by an inability to process an ever increasing volume of sensory input, she immediately becomes a celebrity to the pain-starved public. But Katherine rejects her tragic role: She will not agree to be the star of a Human Destiny TV show, her last days will not be documented or broadcast. What she doesnt realize is that from the moment of diagnosis shes been watched, not only by television producers but by a new kind of program host, a man with a camera behind his unsleeping eyes.Like Margaret Atwoods MaddAddam trilogy, Kazuo Ishiguros Never Let Me Go, and the television series Black Mirror, The Continuous Katherine Mortenhoe is a thrilling psychological drama that is as wise about human nature as it is about the nature of technology. Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.

Book First Edition
Octavo, boards. First edition. "THE FORTUNATE FALL (1996), which -- though its basic premise derives from D. G. Compton's THE CONTINUOUS KATHERINE MORTENHOE (1974; rev vt THE UNSLEEPING EYE 1974; vt DEATH WATCH 1981) -- intensely presents a cyberpunk world two centuries hence; the female protagonist, a news reporter with a computer-driven camera wired into her sensorium, finds herself deeply involved in an ancient conspiracy involving zombie Russian soldiers and mean streets. The world she inhabits is described with color and verve." - John Clute and David R. Langford, SFE (online). "Carter's brio and inventive spin on all the cyber tropes apparently exhausted in the 1980s and early 1990s is fun, speedy, if never quite as wrenchingly moving as the writer clearly wishes it to be . But the artificial life speculations are exactly right in their quicksilver detail: species and genera and entire phyla of viruses and grander alife creatures that prey on each other in grayspace, the realm of virtual reality." - Broderick and Di Filippo, Science Fiction: The 101 Best Novels, 1985-2010 #45. The author's first novel. A John W. Campbell Award nominee for best new writer. Sargent, British and American Utopian Literature, 1986-2009. A fine copy in fine dust jacket. (#145258).
