The Antiquities - Paperback

by Jordan Harrison (Author)

At the Museum of Late Human Antiquities, the curators are fiercely committed to bringing a lost civilization to life again: What were humans really like? What did they wear, what did they eat, how did they die out? By casting us into the far future, Jordan Harrison's new play gives us an uncanny view of the present moment, as we straddle the analog world that was and the post-human world to come. "Compelling... starting with Shelley's monster and ending with, well, the end of humanity, it could win a scary-story contest itself, as it maps one possible route, the Via Technologica, from Romantic glory to species demise... beautifully drawn, with the wit, pith and undercurrent of sadness characteristic of Harrison's best work... hilarious and scalding." - The New York Times
