‘Playful, romantic and very, very clever. Like Inception for booklovers' Clare Pollard

Dive deep into the mind of Gen Z with Honor Levy’s bold and provocative debut story collection - 𝓜𝔂 𝓕𝓲𝓻𝓼𝓽 𝓑𝓸𝓸𝓴 🎀

Dripping in irony and a nostalgia for a pre-internet age, populated by cute creatures crying anime tears, Sonic the Hedgehog, Jenny Holzer, dubstep Simon & Garfunkel – this is an unmissable book that will sting, shock and assault your nervous system.

From cancel culture to red-pilling, Doomers to Zoomers, Levy depicts an increasingly darker side to these Exceedingly Online times.
