Overview
At this fully functioning bookshop visitors can browse and purchase second-hand science fiction and fantasy books. As a browser/buyer, the visitor becomes an integral part of the artwork. The impossibility of browsing through the entirety of the stock, coupled with the actual associations each visitor can make with the available novels, allow this artwork to enable a multitude of experiences that cannot be predetermined. Books can be purchased for 5 AED each.
