Description
The Business A Novel by Iain Banks A nearly omnipotent enterprise with a shrouded past, The Business is a transglobal corporation that has amassed vast riches and power. Its true business remains unclear, but it is known to possess dozens of Michelangelo's works and several sets of Crown jewels. To gain political clout, the Business plans to buy a nation and join the United Nations. Kate Telman, an expert on emerging technologies, is chosen to lead the effort to acquire a new country. As she pursues her goal, Iain Banks offers a scathing portrait of today's multinational corporations. This novel paints a picture that is both wickedly satirical and frighteningly familiar. Already a notable work in England, The Business is a thought-provoking exploration of power, ambition, and the impact of technology on society.
