<b>An astounding 10-volume, 1,924-page graphic novel adaptation of Cixin Liu's international bestseller THE THREE-BODY PROBLEM.</b> An investigation into a spate of apparent suicides amongst the world's top scientists leads to a mysterious online game set in a virtual world ruled by the intractable and unpredictable interaction of its three suns. This is the Three-Body Problem and it is the key to everything: the key to the scientists' deaths, the key to a conspiracy that spans light-years and the key to the extinction-level threat humanity now faces. First published in China in 2008., <i>The Three-Body Problem</i> is the 21st Century's greatest work of science fiction. It was translated in English in 2014 and won the Hugo Award for Best Novel in 2015. It has since been translated into 32 languages and has sold millions of copies all over the world. "<i>The Three-Body Problem</i> was originally published as a novel, but while I was writing it, I began to suspect that words weren't necessarily the best way of telling a science fiction story. When we use words to describe the world, we rely on shared memories of reality to conjure a picture in the reader's mind. But in the realms of science fiction, where there are many things that have never appeared in the real world, words alone are not always enough to accurately, or vividly, transmit the author's imagination. A decade after its original publication, "Three-Body" gains new life in these pages. I am now convinced that the graphic novel provides the broadest possible canvas for science fiction. Regardless of whether you have read the original or not, this version of "The Three-Body Problem" will be a brand new reading experience for you." -<b> CIXIN LIU, 2024</b> <b>This special edition includes</b><b> Three-Body archive material: including: transcript of Ye Wenjie interview by the Beijing PSB Criminal Investigation Detachment; an abstract of Ye Wenjie's paper in Astrophysics Review; partially decrypted files sized from ETO, and much more.</b>

<b>An unprecedented look at the design archives of the iconic sportswear brand.</b><br/><br/>In Autumn 2024 the Vitra Design Museum will present the first ever museum exhibition about Nike, the world's most revered sport brand. The exhibition and this accompanying catalogue mark the milestones in Nike's six decade history and explores its ascent into a global brand that holds a central role in popular culture. The focus of the exhibition is on Nike's design practice - from the company's beginnings in the 1960s and the design of its famous "swoosh" logo to iconic products such as Air Max Air Jordan and Vapor Fly, and current research devoted to future materials and sustainability.<br/><br/>The main source for the exhibition is the Department of Nike Archives, which contains a unique collection of drawings, prototypes and other documentation. The exhibition marks the most comprehensive access ever given to this archive. Among the objects on show are rarities and one-offs from the company's early days in the 1960s, original design drawings and prototypes of iconic sneaker models, historical documents and films, as well as the results of collaborations with creative figures such as Virgil Abloh and Marc Newson.<br/><br/><i>Nike: Form Follows Motion</i> traces Nike's design process, which begins with the scientific analysis of the human body in motion and material research and culminates in the finished product and its branding. Along with Nike designers like Bill Bowerman, Diane Katz, Tinker Hatfield and Eric Avar, athletes - from the world's greatest to the everyday - have played an important role in this design process.

<b>Travel back in time with this era-defining book.</b><br/><br/>Start with the exuberance of graffiti, breakdancing and boom boxes on the subway, the beeps and bloops of new electronic game consoles, and Jane Fonda's pastel leotards and legwarmers. Skip forward from the first space shuttle to the first episode of The Simpsons, from Jean-Michel Basquiat to Gordon Gekko, from shoulder pads to smiley faces. Witness the establishment of an assertive new gay culture and club scene, the unrivalled global gathering of the Live Aid concerts, and the equally strident fight against apartheid. Listen to the reverberation of cultural decibels rising across the globe and shaking society's foundations, from Madrid's La Movida to the Soviet Union's Perestroika and the fall of the Berlin Wall.<br/><br/><b>Welcome to the 1980s.</b>
