''Air'', also known as ''Air: Or, Have Not Have'', is a 2005 novel by Geoff Ryman. It won the British Science Fiction Association Award, the James Tiptree, Jr. Award, and the Arthur C. Clarke Award, and was on the short list for the Philip K. Dick Award in 2004, the Nebula Award in 2005,〔 and the John W. Campbell Memorial Award in 2006.〔
Ryman initially wrote a short story for ''The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction'' entitled "Have Not Have", which was included in the April 2001 edition〔(book review at scifi.com )〕 (later reprinted in the June 2014 issue of Clarkesworld Magazine〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Have Not Have )〕). This was expanded into a novel initially titled ''Air: Or, Have Not Have'', and renamed to just ''Air'' in all editions since the first.
==Plot introduction==
''Air'' is the story of a town's fashion expert Chung Mae, a smart but illiterate peasant woman in a small village in the fictional country of Karzistan (loosely based on the country of Kazakhstan), and her suddenly leading role in reaction to dramatic, worldwide experiments with a new information technology called Air. Air is information exchange, not unlike the Internet, that occurs in everyone's brain and is intended to connect the world. After a test of Air is imposed on Mae's unprepared mountain town, everyone and everything changes, especially Mae who was deeper into Air than any other person. Afterwards, Mae struggles to prepare her people for what is to come while learning all about the world outside her home.
