À propos de cet audio

Philip K. Dick Award runner-up, 2019

A powerful dystopian vision of a world where money reigns supreme, from a World Fantasy Award-winning author.

"An extraordinary novel that stands with the best of dystopian fiction, with dashes of The Handmaid's Tale."—Cory Doctorow

The penalty for Dani Cumali's murder: $84,000.

Theo works in the Criminal Audit Office. He assesses each crime that crosses his desk and makes sure the correct debt to society is paid in full.

These days, there's no need to go to prison—provided that you can afford to pay the penalty for the crime you've committed. If you're rich enough, you can get away with murder.

But Dani's murder is different. When Theo finds her lifeless body, and a hired killer standing over her and calmly calling the police to confess, he can't let her death become just an entry on a balance sheet.

Someone is responsible. And Theo is going to find them and make them pay.

Perfect for fans of 1984 and Never Let Me Go, Claire North's moving and unnerving new novel will resonate with listeners around the world.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Evocative, thought-provoking... I'll read anything she writes." (Omnivoracious)

"Vivid and disturbing." (Publishers Weekly)

"A terrifying setting that feels rooted to the present day.... Imbued with a menace that feels both recognizable and urgent, and the decisions the characters make as a result feel uncomfortably real." (RT Book Reviews)

The near future dystopia proposed by this book is chilling in its nearness and believability. The book itself, though, is slow, meandering, and often painfully obvious. Characters will literally say their motivation or their worldview out loud to each other in dialogue. It feels like all the subtlety and craft went into building the world, though even then, sometimes the narration will just tell the reader a fact, rather than letting it be revealed through action. Despite the bluntness, hitting the reader over the head, the book still feels 30% longer than it needs to be. Read it for the ideas.

A grim dystopian vision, but an exhausting grind
