A SUNDAY TIMES BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR
In a disturbingly familiar parallel world, a small population of tiny, semi-aquatic humans known as lambdas has quietly lived in the capital for decades. When a school bombing is claimed by an unknown faction of their community, everything changes.
Meet Cara Gray, anarchist-turned-surveillance officer, who is trialling an application that will render her life as a novel.
Experience a world of government agents made of slime mould protein, dubious quantum computers, and sentient toothbrushes.
Publisher Review
"Rife with suspense, intrigue and menace, the story is an allegory for current events that parallels books like Orwell's 1984 and Animal Farm." * Reading the West * "Ceaselessly inventive yet grounded in a world we recognise - an eloquent, insightful and funny proof the the future is now. And always will be." * Richard Beard (The Day That Went Missing) * "A science fiction novel not quite like any other I've read." * Ananyo Bhattacharya (The Man from the Future) * "Part cyber-thriller, part sci-fi parable, part glorious social satire." * Tim Baker (Fever City) *
