Produktbeschreibung
Habitat is a book of linked narratives, beginning in the near future and ending a century later. Different characters, all operating in their own environments, more connected than they know: a world with an early education system based on corporate sponsorships; a highly unusual outdoor family restaurant; a subculture of young Americans creating performance art out of transplanted body parts; and a large corporation that clones animals for labor, entertainment, preservation, and defense in a future where species are quickly going extinct. After a neighborhood barbecue, a father embraces a grisly family tradition to help secure a better education for his daughter. A young man crashes his family's meticulously planned annual gala to unveil his latest surgical transplant. Parents try to find a way to give their daughter the year's most sought-after Christmas gift, a clone of the canine star of a sci-fi television show. Habitat shifts genres and tones, including elements of body horror, science fiction, and family drama as narrative spaces and characters' experiences eventually merge in the final piece.
