Description
London, 2050. The socio-economic crisis of recent decades is over and consumerism is thriving. Ownership of land outside the city is the preserve of a tiny elite, and the rest of the population must spend to earn a Right to Reside. Ageing has been abolished thanks to a radical new approach, replacing retirement with blissful euthanasia at a Dignitorium. When architect Philip goes missing, his wife Alice risks losing her home and her status, and begins to question the society in which she was raised. Her search for him uncovers some horrifying truths about the fate of her own family and the reality behind the new social order.
`A chilling and politically astute dystopia which grips the reader from start to finish. Sci-fi in the tradition of Wyndham, with characters I really cared about, in a terrifyingly altered world' - Jane Rogers, winner of the Arthur C Clarke Award
