An experimental work of speculative fiction, Line is the elegant answer to maintaining a new world order. Following the financial collapse of Europe and North America and the powerful economic dominance of an Afro-Hispanic alliance built on data-finance, a mass migration to the tropical regions which threatens the balance of these new economies.

Line is the story of Willard who, along with his mother and girlfriend Nyla, spend their days in a seemingly endless line (or queue). Survival is dictated by the ultimate imperative: obey the rules, or you will lose your place. Everything changes the day Willard’s mother dies and he learns an uncomfortable truth about the world he thought he knew. He and Nyla set out on a journey that will change their lives for ever.

In its Beckettian sparseness, Line pushes the boundaries of contemporary fiction. At once self-contained and deeply moving, this stunning novel is concerned with contemporary issues such as migration and the refugee crisis, big data and the erosion of democracy, climate change, colonialism, conformity and fanaticism.
