{"product_id":"1jvp4y0b6cza","title":"Pralayer Porer Ek Budhbar by Rajat Subhra Karmakar [Hardcover]","description":"\u003cp\u003eWith Rajat Shubhra Karmakar as the author, dystopian elements are a given. But beyond that? The book features two interconnected novellas set in two different worlds and timelines. One revolves around American football, deeply entangled with the real-life neurological disorder Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE). The other explores a basketball league controlled entirely by AI, where players act only as much as artificial intelligence dictates. A final short chapter bridges these two worlds, linking the separate timelines in an unexpected way. To put it simply, this book can be described as Dystopian\/Post-Apocalyptic Sports Mythpunk - a genre so unique that it may very well be the first of its kind, not just in Bengali literature but possibly in world literature. The novel paints a strikingly eerie yet plausible vision of our future, shaped by current socio-political realities. As readers turn the pages, they will feel a creeping sense of unease - yet the author may leave room for a glimmer of hope by the end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Smell of Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48327816544506,"sku":"1JVP4Y0B6CZA","price":247.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/0473\/5226\/files\/1JVP4Y0B6CZA.png?v=1738782747","url":"https:\/\/versoz.co.in\/products\/1jvp4y0b6cza","provider":"VERSOZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
