Drace (dracenines) | 7860 comments There are errors to clean up with the book Universality.

1. US Hardcover: Universality (ISBN 9780593977309)

- The page count is incorrect. I’m holding a copy and it stops at 152.

- The description is incorrect. It should read as follows, transcribed from the jacket:

Remember—words are your weapons, they’re your tools, your currency: a twisty, slippery descent into the rhetoric of power.

Late one night on a Yorkshire farm, in the midst of an illegal rave, a young man is nearly bludgeoned to death with a solid gold bar.

An ambitious young journalist sets out to uncover the truth surrounding the attack, connecting the dots between an amoral banker landlord, an iconoclastic columnist, and a radical anarchist movement that has taken up residence on the farm. She solves the mystery, but her viral exposé raises more questions than it answers. Through a voyeuristic lens, and with a simmering power, Universality focuses on words: what we say, how we say it, and what we really mean.

The thrilling novel from one of the most acclaimed young writers working today, Universality is a compelling, unsettling celebration of the spectacular, appalling force of language. It dares you to look away.
