SHORTLISTED FOR THE RSL ENCORE PRIZE 2019 LONGLISTED FOR THE RSL ONDAATJE PRIZE 2019 LONGLISTED FOR THE ORWELL PRIZE FOR POLITICAL FICTION 2019 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?'
