A SUNDAY TIMES BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR
In a disturbingly familiar parallel world, a small population of tiny, semi-aquatic humans known as lambdas has quietly lived in the capital for decades. When a school bombing is claimed by an unknown faction of their community, everything changes.
Meet Cara Gray, anarchist-turned-surveillance officer, who is trialling an application that will render her life as a novel.
Experience a world of government agents made of slime mould protein, dubious quantum computers, and sentient toothbrushes.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Outwardly alien arrivals from a distant sea, the lambdas are genetically human. They slip quietly into low- to middle-income jobs and appear to want nothing more than to be left alone. For Cara Gray, they are first a haunting presence in her otherwise ordinary childhood, then the inscrutable target of her police surveillance work. When a bomb goes off at a school, a nebulous group of lambda extremists claims responsibility for the attack-but how could a vulnerable community of tiny aquatic humans, barely visible in society and seemingly indifferent to their own exploitation, be capable of something so horrific? In Cara's world a toothbrush can be legally alive, a quantum computer has the power to decide who dies, and a government employee made of slime mould protein needs help to relieve his neuroses. As Cara's relationship with the lambdas deepens, she must decide whether to accept her place in a pattern of technology, violence and deceit, or to take action of her own. Whoever the lambdas might be, and wherever they really come from, they're already here among us. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
