The brave new world is just a few years away; perhaps it has already begun. Every day another Western country turns autocratic, and algorithms that replace people hang in the air as a threat. Britain, where capitalism was invented, has perfected it: Brexit is done, the monarchy abolished, the state relies on total surveillance. The novel begins in Rochdale, where neoliberalism has been especially thorough. Its heroes are four children who know nothing but the reality of a failed state. Their food comes from private charities, their parents gave up long ago, and their one hope is grime, GRM, the greatest musical revolution since punk.
