Steven Hall visits the world's pre-eminent robotics lab to see what machines will do for us next; Caroline Moorehead explores the trafficking of workers into the United Kingdom; Daniel Alarcón infiltrates the world of book pirating in Peru; Salman Rushdie meditates on sloth; Rose George examines the state of merchant shipping; Ruchir Joshi travels India to find out how a transforming economy is affecting the nation's professional landscape; and Aminatta Forna profiles the last vet in Sierra Leone. Plus: Photographs of Johannesburg's Ponte City Apartments by Mikhael Subotzky, and new fiction from Joshua Ferris, VV Ganeshananthan, Julian Barnes and Jim Crace.Granta 109 gives us a glimpse of ourselves at our most primordial, in a day and age when work has become the most invisible (at least in literature) and yet all-encompassingaspect of human life.… (mere) |
