Signed by Author; Only slight wear ; A bright, solid book, dustjacket in Mylar, unclipped.; Large 8vo 9" - 10" tall; 283 pages; Gibson, Margaret Atwood's husband, has signed this on the title page. Set in southern Ontario in the late nineteenth century, at a time when the machine age was coming into its own, Perpetual Motion chronicles the fortunes of settler Robert Fraser, a man obsessed with power and control. Driven by the idea of inventing a perpetual motion machine which will utilize natural energy, he neglects and destroys not only the nature around him but his own family too, as his overbearing rationality becomes a kind of tragic lunacy.
