A novel for our times- the story of how technology and our addiction to innovation is eroding our human rights and freedoms
Finalist for the Orwell Prize for Political Fiction 2022
From the Costa Award winner, a highly inventive and and humane novel about our relationship with technology and our addiction to innovation.
This is the tale of a new technology, an alternative history that unfolds over many decades. It is a fable told through a constantly shifting cast of characters, all drawn into the world of a machine that slowly alters every life it touches.
But in this unending quest for progress, what will happen to the things that make us human- the memories, the fears, the love, the mortality? As we push towards a brave new world, what do we stand to lose?
'Such a super novel' Wendy Erskine
'A clever book...that will have you thinking about the machines in your own life' Sunday Times
