As such, she represents the villagers' con-nection to the culture of the wider world beyond their fields. But Mae's role is about to change drastically. The Net, and unlimited information, has finally come to Kizuldah, and it's soon to be followed by Air, a new communication technology that will connect everyone, everywhere, without wires or computers. But the initial test of Air is a disaster; people are killed by the shock, and Mae ends up imprinted with the memories of a dying old woman. Realizing the changes the future will bring to Kizuldah, Mae struggles to lead her people to prepare themselves, while preserving the values that have always held the village together. 250148 book 1 10 2004 Air: Or, Have Not Have total:184|5:55|4:87|3:27|2:12|1:3| 184 731 369 43 4 5 true false Thu Nov 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Wed Oct 24 16:04:42 -0700 2007 Sun Nov 25 16:26:03 -0800 2007 more...]]> 4 2 false true Tue Apr 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon Apr 21 07:49:15 -0700 2008 Sat Apr 26 14:22:49 -0700 2008
