In a distant universe, since the beginning of time, workers have
spent their lives weaving intricate carpets from the hair of women
and girls. But why? Andreas Eschbach's mysterious, poignant space
opera explores the absurdity of work and of life itself. 'A novel
of ideas that evokes complex emotions through the working out of an
intricate and ultimately satisfying plot, with echoes of Gene
Wolfe, Ursula K. Le Guin, and Isaac Asimov' The New York Times Book
Review
Since the time of prehistory, carpet makers have tied intricate
knots to form carpets for the court of the Emperor. These carpets
are made from the hairs of their makers' wives and daughters; they
are so detailed and fragile that each carpet- maker finishes only
one single carpet in his entire lifetime. This art has descended
from father to son since the beginning of time itself. But, one
day, the empire of the God Emperor vanish...and strangers begin to
arrive from the stars in search of the hair carpets. What these
strangers discover is beyond all belief, more than anything they
could have ever imagined...

How can design help to make PR events unique and compelling
occasions? For the first time, Happening! Design for Events sets
its sights on the total design of PR events and uses selected
projects to show that there is virtually no limit to the influence
and variety that are possible in this area. Exciting and innovative
concepts from the designers provoke and potentiate the mix of
artistic end in itself and economic persuasion that underlies PR
events like product presentations, pop concerts, and cultural
exhibitions.
The results not only convince potential customers - they are a
must for everyone involved in organizing big international events.
Happening! surveys thirty projects by international companies and
design firms - including Nike Brand Design and 3deluxe - and
devotes eight pages to each, with photographs, drawings, and texts
by prominent authors. Interviews with the designers close out the
book.
