“Meatspace is the greatest book on loneliness since The Catcher in the Rye” – Gary Shteyngart, author of Super Sad True Love Story

Kitab has had a rough few months. His girlfriend left him. He got fired from his job for writing a novel on company time, but the novel didn’t sell and now he’s burning through his mom’s life insurance money. Kitab is reduced to spending all of his time with his brother and roommate Aziz, coming up with ideas for novelty Tumblrs and composing amusing tweets. But now even Aziz has left him, travelling to America to find his online doppelganger.

So what happens when Kitab’s only internet namesake turns up on his doorstep and insists that they are meant to be friends?

In a time when we are obsessed with and defined by our online personas, this clever, sharp, and often hilarious novel dares us to question who we are when we’re not in cyberspace but in “meatspace,” the real world where people actually talk to each other in the flesh.

Review:

‘Like Douglas Coupland’s Generation X, this novel captures
a cultural moment’
– Guardian

‘An anarchic, self-involved and admirably honest portrait of
a bookish life lived in the brave new digital world’
– New Statesman

‘Chilling’
– Observer

‘Buzzing with streetwise smarts and satirical barbs, it’s a
thoughtful, often hilarious, meditation on a young writer’s
loneliness in the digital age’
– Independent on Sunday

‘Brilliant stuff ’
– Londonist

‘Hilarious and disturbing’
– Stylist

‘Meatspace is funny. Damn funny. You
should really switch off your computer and read it’
– Matt Haig, author of The Humans

‘Meatspace is the greatest book on loneliness since The Catcher in the Rye’
– Gary Shteyngart, author of Super Sad True Love Story

‘Totally original and funny and humane’
– Sathnam Sanghera, author of The Boy with The Topknot

‘Meatspace is, simply, one of the finest novels I have ever read
about modern life and modern living. Douglas
Coupland, Junot Diaz, Chuck Palahniuk and Jennifer Egan:
stick them in a blendr, and out comes this amazing new novel
by one of the UK’s most distinct voices’
– James Smythe, author of The Machine

‘Very funny and I’d recommend it to anyone’
– Rick Edwards in the Metro
