The young Riddley lives in a fragmented society that preserves distorted memories of the old world through ritual, myth and travelling puppet shows. Written in an invented dialect, the novel follows his growing involvement with dangerous attempts to recover lost knowledge while exploring language, power, technology and humanity's repeated attraction to destructive ideas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn very good overall condition.
