{"product_id":"starcrossed-1","title":"Starcrossed","description":"Used mass_market in Good - First Edition condition. A stinging SFnal, futuristic satire on the TV industry, based on Ben's and Harlan Ellison's involvement in a real TV series, THE STARLOST.  (Bova dedicates the novel to \"Cordwainer Bird\", the pen name Harlan Ellison uses when he does not want to be associated with a television or film project.)  Television in the 21st century, where ratings are everything... Physicist Bill Oxford has just developed a device that can make the networks even more powerful, and now he is caught in the most vicious battle of the future: the ratings war!  Harlan's script won a major award (though his script isn't what was filmed!); and ReAnimus Press has the novel edition of his award-winning version (PHOENIX WITHOUT ASHES).  A delightful bit of fun in the future, poking fun at those who should be poked.","brand":"Bova, Ben","offers":[{"title":"Good - First Edition","offer_id":53839687319835,"sku":"mon0000798922","price":11.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0958\/4004\/3291\/files\/7427093482345.jpg?v=1788033352","url":"https:\/\/bookalley.com\/products\/starcrossed-1","provider":"Book Alley","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
