SHORTLISTED FOR THE ENCORE AWARD 2020 'Tinged with melancholy and
yearning, this novel is wry and frequently beautiful, and its
culmination is surprising and deeply moving' Guardian 'Both an
acute satire of our social-media dominated times, and a haunting
examination of depression and anxiety rendered in diamond sharp
prose. It deserves to be on every prize longlist this year' i
____________________________________________ You wake up. You go to
work. You don't go outside for twelve hours at a time. You have
strategy meetings about how to use hashtags. After work you order
expensive drink after expensive drink until you're so blackout
drunk you can't remember the circumstances which have led you to
waking up in bed with your colleague. The next day you stay in bed
until the afternoon, scrolling through your social media feeds and
wondering why everyone else seems to be achieving so much.
Sometimes you don't get out of bed at all. Then you hear about Life
on Nyx, a programme that allows 100 lucky winners the chance to
escape it all, move to another planet and establish a new way of
life. One with meaning and purpose. One without Instagram and
online dating. There's one caveat: if you go, you can never come
back. But you aren't worried about that. After all, what on Earth
could there possibly be to miss?
____________________________________________ 'Sauma has the horrors
of the workplace nailed with satirical precision' Sunday Times
Culture 'Weird, wonderful and beautifully written' Daily Mail 'What
Sauma captures so excellently is the low level anxiety that hums
through everyday life' Telegraph 'Uplifting, unputdownable and
mordantly funny' Sharlene Teo, author of Ponti 'I'd follow Sauma's
voice down any wormhole' Rowan Hisayo Buchanan 'For fans of Black
Mirror' Elle 'Sublime' Otegha Uwagba
