Die Hard meets The Martian—with a dash of Knives Out—in this action-packed sci-fi thriller. Imperium is the most expensive structure ever created. Once an orbiting laboratory, it is now a space hotel for the fantastically wealthy. But as the station preps for its first group of space tourists, Dr. Chloe Bonilla, Imperium’s resident biophysicist, finds herself questioning whether babysitting a passel of space glampers is worth the distraction from her research. A private rocket delivers a rogues’ gallery of the world’s elite to Imperium: eccentric billionaires, callow tech bros, a sponsored Instagram influencer, and a seemingly saintly philanthropist. However, posing among the staff are members of a global terrorist group who call themselves the Reckoners, hell bent on upending the economic inequality of twenty-first-century Earth—and they have a bone to pick with these scions of the 1 percent. As the Reckoners take control of Imperium and demand an $8 billion ransom from their wealthy hostages, it’s up to Dr. Bonilla to save them, and fast. Or the captives will be forced to exit the station—and there’s only one way out.

Representing a selective survey of Keith Tyson's drawings from the past eight years, 'Head to Hand' includes both those drawings where the hand of the artist gives formal expression to an already mentally charted idea, and those drawings where the hand etches out a conceptual space for the head to move into new territory and unanticipated directions. The adventurous and ambitious scope of Tyson's use of drawing to define areas of investigation is evident in this rare artist's book, which will be released simultaneously with a major show at the South London Gallery.
