Meanwhile in Dopamine City Shortlisted for the Goldsmiths Prize 2020

<p><b>FROM THE BOOKER PRIZE-WINING AUTHOR OF</b> <i><b>VERNON GOD LITTLE</b><br> <br></i>'Pierre's high-risk prose explores and expands the cartoonish, taboo-busting outer edges of literary possibility.' -- <i>Independent<br></i><br> ***<br> <br> <b>It's a big bad world out there, in Dopamine City.</b><br> <br> All Lonnie Cush wants is to keep his kids safe.<br> <br> But Shelby-Ann - his little girl, the maddening apple of his eye - has other ideas: Shelby-Ann wants her first smartphone.<br> <br> So new realities are rocketing their way to 37 Palisade Row, where everything will change, every day, and at mortal speed. Until Lonnie finds himself in a stitch: he'll have to join this new world, or wither in it. Or can he mastermind a vanishing act?<br> <br> The story of a hapless father's love and loss, and a speedball, starburst satire, <i>Meanwhile in Dopamine City</i> is a passionate, freewheeling work from the winner of the Booker Prize: a riotous cry for the soul and the flesh and the heart in the cooling bathwater of our automatic times.</p>
