Fortunately, Apostolakis isn't lost, but everything else is: ancient libraries, entire civilisations, priceless books and a beautiful box, once used to play the world-famous game of Seven. The hunt for this small thing, among the countless lost things, becomes an absurdist quest through time and space: from the earliest human societies to the advent of AI.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Told, shared and mythologised by our narrator, along with a wild cast of dreamers, philosophers, poets, rebels and optimists, Seven is an extraordinary, uplifting journey through an ever darkening world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Unity Books","offers":[{"title":"Seven","offer_id":45794276442309,"sku":null,"price":40.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0625\/6679\/3413\/files\/978-0-571-33815-3.jpg?v=1770768561","url":"https:\/\/unitybooks.myshopify.com\/products\/seven-1","provider":"Unity Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
