About this ebook
What would you sacrifice for free shipping and a dopamine hit?
NEWPHORIA! is a playful yet biting dystopian satire, from multiple Sunday Times bestselling author Olivie Blake.
It's 2075 and time for the annual Senecan Games, a fight-to-the-death tournament where the sinful are contestants – nominated online by their neighbours, mutuals and IRL friends. But who even has time to watch in this economy?
Then the status quo fractures as the games begin. Wolfie Anderson-Spencer, researching millennial culture at Oxford, discovers old memes have been erased from his archives. Linked by a trail of deleted data files, Wolfie discovers a wiped-out survivalist cult, a cancelled pop star sent to the game arena, and Dolores – the last woman on earth big tech couldn’t track. Until now.
But Doroles may just be the only hope of saving humanity – for we have unwittingly opted into a dark web of exploitation.
Moving back and forth in time, NEWPHORIA! is a gloriously character-driven novel which shifts from London’s makeshift swamps to a sunken Californian coast and back. It also asks what happens if we get the future we really deserve.
‘Blake proves herself witty, stylish and unafraid of big ideas’ – The New York Times Book Review
