# Gliff - Hardcover

by **Ali Smith** (Author)

**From a literary master, a moving and genre-bending story about our era-spanning search for meaning and knowing**

An uncertain near-future. A story of new boundaries drawn between people daily. A not-very brave new world.

Add two children. And a horse.

From a Scottish word meaning a transient moment, a shock, a faint glimpse, _Gliff_ explores how and why we endeavour to make a mark on the world. In a time when western industry wants to reduce us to algorithms and data--something easily categorizable and predictable--Smith shows us why our humanity, our individual complexities, matter more than ever.
