Engaging a rich history of visual poetics, I Imagine I Been Science Fiction Always almost predicts its endurance as a visionary work of genius.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Douglas Kearney","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47703057203453,"sku":"9798891060128","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0472\/7069\/0970\/files\/9798891060128.jpg?v=1781278761","url":"https:\/\/www.thepaintedporch.com\/products\/i-imagine-i-been-science-fiction-always-wave-books-121","provider":"The Painted Porch Bookshop ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
