Take from the rich and shop for the poor

A Bonnie and Clyde for the Trump era, Josie and Novik embark on the ultimate roadtrip. In a near-future re-sculpted politically and geographically by climate change, they blaze a trail across the shopping malls of America in a printed intelligent car (stolen by accident), with a hundred and ninety million LSD-contaminated dollars in the trunk. Pursued by vengeful drug cartels on one side and the agents of corrupt authority on the other, they determine to bring down the system, buying shoes and cameras to change the world.

Meanwhile, President Guinevere Snarlow is bent on making America great again and cementing her place in history. She embarks on an ambitious but perilous campaign, invading Mexico on a pretext and plotting to assassinate the richest man the world has ever known…

Packed with bold ideas and genre-shattering extrapolations. And the characters get so deep inside your head you’re still arguing with them days later. Seriously, you need this book. - Mike Carey, BAFTA nominated author of The Girl with All the Gifts

A clever, dark and often very funny satire on rapacious capitalism. - Chris Beckett, winner of the Arthur C. Clarke Award

One of the most original books I’ve read in many years. It’s mad and bad and you need to read it. - Jaine Fenn, author of the Hidden Empire novels

Shopocalypse is like no road novel ever written before… impressive and well worth the read. - Albedo

It kept me up until 2.30am on a work night to see where it ended. - reviewer
