"A high-concept speculative thriller that takes the
best of BLACK MIRROR and SEVERANCE to explore surveillance, capitalism,
AI ethics and social inequality." The Bookseller, best
of Black Publishing 2026-2027

The anticipated YA debut from Kelechi Okafor. Perfect for fans
of Black Mirror and Severance.

The year is 2032. Dorcas has her whole life ahead of her - university,
career, escape from her suffocating small town. There's
only one problem: she has no idea who she wants to be. Then something
impossible happens. A being from another world brings a terrifying
message: her entire life is a reality show broadcast across
the galaxy ... and she's bombing. The audience is bored. Unless
she does something extraordinary - anything - she'll be cancelled.
Permanently. Now Dorcas has one chance to figure out what makes
a life worth living. Before her time runs out.

• A highly unique, darkly atmospheric dystopian thriller, perfect
  for fans of Black Mirror and Severance.

• Themes of surveillance capitalism, AI ethics and social inequality.

• Kelechi says: 'I want this book to be a story that explores our
  interconnectedness within the cosmos, and raises the question of:
  in the technological age of social media and reality television,
  who do we actually exist for?'
