People stay indoors, communicating through high-tech glasses and gorging on simulated reality while 3D printers and scuttling robots cater to their every whim. Mammoth corporations wage war for dominance in a world where human augmentation blurs the line between flesh and steel. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd at the center of it all lurks The Imagination Machine: the hyper-advanced, omnipresent AI that drives our cars, flies our planes, cooks our food, and plans our lives. Servile, patient, tireless . TIM has everything humanity requires. Everything except a soul.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough this silicon jungle prowls Carl Dremmler, police detective--one of the few professions better suited to meat than machine. His latest case: a grisly murder seemingly perpetrated by the victim's boyfriend. Dremmler's boss wants a quick end to the case, but the tech-wary detective can't help but believe the accused's bizarre story: that his robotic arm committed the heinous crime, not him. An advanced prosthetic, controlled by a chip in his skull. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA chip controlled by TIM.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDremmler smells blood: the seeds of a conspiracy that could burn London to ash unless he exposes the truth. His investigation pits him against desperate criminals, scheming businesswomen, deadly automatons--and the nightmares of his own past. And when Dremmler finds himself questioning even TIM's inscrutable motives, he's forced to stare into the blank soul of the machine. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAuxiliary is gripping, unpredictable, and bleakly atmospheric--ideal for fans of cyberpunk classics like the Blade Runner movies, Richard K. Morgan's Altered Carbon, William Gibson's Neuromancer, and the Netflix original series Black Mirror. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49553354588433,"sku":"GOR013066835","price":18.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51040980664593,"sku":"NIN9781631610752","price":0.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52660284227857,"sku":"NLS9781631610752","price":0.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1631610759.jpg?v=1751058077","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/de-ch\/products\/auxiliary-buch-jon-richter-9781631610752","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
