A GUARDIAN BOOK OF THE YEAR' Gnomon is an extraordinary novel & one I can't stop thinking about some weeks after I read it It is deeply troubling magnificently strange & an exhilarating read' Emily St John Mandel author of Station Eleven The best thing he's ever written It is an astonishing piece of construction complex & witty It is a magnificent achievement He's never written a bad book but this is the one that'll see him mentioned in the same breath as William Gibson & David Mitchell This book seriously just destroyed me with joy' Warren Ellis Nick Harkaway bonkers brilliant & hilarious Effervescent clever & entirely fantastic' Sunday Times Harkaway is the missing but somehow logical link between David Mitchell & Terry Pratchett' Independent Near-future Britain is not just a nation under surveillance but one built on it a radical experiment in personal transparency & ambient direct democracy Every action is seen every word is recorded Diana Hunter is a refusenik a has-been cult novelist who lives in a house with its own Faraday cage no electronic signals can enter or leave She runs a lending library & conducts business by barter She is off the grid in a society where the grid is everything Denounced arrested & interrogated by a machine that reads your life history from your brain she dies in custody Mielikki Neith is the investigator charged with discovering how this tragedy occurred Neith is Hunter's opposite She is a woman in her prime a stalwart advocate of the System It is the most democratic of governments & Neith will protect it with her life When Neith opens the record of the interrogation she finds not Hunter's mind but four others none of which can possibly be there the banker Constantine Kyriakos pursued by a ghostly shark that eats corporations; the alchemist Athenais Karthagonensis jilted lover of St Augustine of Hippo & mother to his dead son kidnapped & required to perform a miracle; Berihun Bekele artist & grandfather who must escape an arson fire by walking through walls

In a near-future Britain a distributed surveillance-democracy called The System knows everything you & can even spy on your mind It’s a Panopticon country But when state investigators then look into the head of a refusenik novelist named Diana Hunter what they find there is not her life story but that of four other people spread across thousands of years all vibrantly real & each utterly impossible – & before they can unravel that puzzle Diana Hunter shockingly dies as a result of the investigation an unheard of result in a perfect system which protects everyone from harm That’s where Inspector Mielikki Neith comes in a staunch believer in The System who is assigned to investigate the Hunter case The only problem is that the teasing mysteries in the dead woman’s mind may change all that & these are extraordinary memories ranging from the life of a banker named Constantine Kyriakos who finds himself pursued by a shark that may in fact be a god; & an Ethiopian retired pop artist Berihun Bekele who picks up his brushes to create a virtual world called The System at the behest of his games’ designer gr&-daughter; & Athenaïs Karthagonensis the jilted lover of one of the Church’s most beloved saints who seeks to resurrect her dead son with the help of a non-existent miracle; & then finally GNOMON the acerbic post-human who is plotting to assassinate the next iteration of the Universe The question is whether there is a truth hidden in the noise of all those lives as Mielikki begins to suspect? Or is all that unfolding experience & drama simply a cover for some kind of attack upon the fabric of the most democratic nation state ever constructed? And the questions just keep coming Who was Diana Hunter & why are her books impossible to obtain? & above all was Diana Hunter innocent all along – worse could she have been correct to attempt to withstand a perfect democratic system? ...
