a cultural moment’

portrait of
a bookish life lived in the brave new digital world’

it’s a
thoughtful, often hilarious, meditation on a young writer’s
loneliness in the digital age’
– Independent on Sunday ‘Brilliant stuff ’
– Londonist ‘Hilarious and disturbing’

should really switch off your computer and read it’

on loneliness since The Catcher in the Rye’

original and funny and humane’

is, simply, one of the finest novels I have ever read

stick them in a blendr, and out comes this amazing new novel
by one of the UK’s most distinct voices’
– James Smythe, author of The Machine ‘Very funny and I’d recommend
