Description
Science fiction maestro Brian Aldiss crafts a heart-breaking novella that explores the question of human connection. With a sparse elegance, he delves into ideas of selfhood and loneliness. Hugh's life has become a testament to monotony, with every trip through customs making him seem more customary. But when his mother's death returns him to London, he draws just enough hope and courage to travel on a different journey. As he navigates the complexities of human connection, Aldiss proves prophetic and rich in insight. Published in beautiful new collector's livery, Ruins is a poignant exploration of the human condition.
