Trapped in an endless maze of Internet chatrooms, a group of mystified strangers find themselves assigned obscure aliases and commanded by the Helmet of Horror, the Minotaur himself. As they fumble their way back to reality through a mesmerising world of abundant information but little knowledge, we are forced to wonder - can technology itself be anything more than a myth? Translated by Andrew Bromfield \"For a mind-expanding, surreally funny experience, it's worth getting lost here.\" Scotland on Sunday \"A brilliant post-modern, eclectic vision of myth, mind and meaning. And of the human dilemma and its horns, ancient and modern.\" AS Byatt, The Times \"Pelevin is a highly inventive writer with a sharp, jaundiced eye and an anarchic sensibility.\" Guardian \"Witty, brilliant ... barking mad.\" Daily Telegraph","brand":"Canongate Books","offers":[{"title":"Used - very good","offer_id":53422604452182,"sku":"9781841958897-V","price":6.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9781841958897_1.jpg?v=1781665776","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/pelevin-victor-the-helmet-of-horror-9781841958897","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
