A beautiful new planet A meaningful new life Are you ready? ____________________________________________ Her writing is beautiful Rachel Seiffert, author of Dark Room and A Boy in Winter Uplifting, unputdownable and mordantly funny Sharlene Teo, author of Ponti ____________________________________________ You wake up. You go to work. You dont 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 youre so blackout drunk you cant 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 dont 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. Theres one caveat: if you go, you can never come back. But you arent worried about that. After all, what on Earth could there possibly be to miss? ____________________________________________ I loved it Megan Hunter Daring and original Laura Kaye One of the most original and urgent novels Ive read this year Clare Fisher Id follow Saumas voice down any wormhole Rowan Hisayo Buchanan Sublime Otegha Uwagba Beautifully written Bookseller Luiza Sauma takes us on a breathtaking voyage through both the farthest reaches of space and the innermost depths of the human soul Peng Shepherd
