Perfidious Albion
Perfidious Albion | Sam Byers

In Edmundsbury, a small town in east England, fear and loathing are on the rise. It is the near future; Brexit has happened and the ramifications are real. Grass-roots right-wing political party 'England Always' are fomenting hatred. The residents of a failing housing estate are being manipulatively cleared from their homes. A multinational tech company is making inroads into the infrastructure. Just as social tensions appear to reach crisis point, masked men begin a series of 'disruptions', threatening to make internet histories public, asking the townspeople 'what don't you want to share?'

Mehso-so

This had potential, but I've reached the end and feel quite let down. So many of the various storylines just fizzled out and too much emphasis was put on plotlines earlier on that are seemingly irrelevant.

A dystopian novel set in a post-Brexit Britain where society is rapidly fracturing. Clearly calculated to establish a cheery tone in the run up to Christmas 🎄. #book #books #bookstagram #sambyers #perfidiousalbion #dauntbooks #reading #decemberreads #n10 #muswellhill #tetherdown #dystopianfiction #brexitliterature #brexlit #dystopia

Superb zeitgeisty novel revolving around Big Tech, the rise of the far right in post-Brexit Britain, the Twitter sphere and the nature of online fame. Reads a bit like The Circle rewritten by the early Kingsley Amis. Praise comes no higher ;)
