Vintage Digital, 2024

'A fascinating, thrilling novel' Samira Ahmed, Front Row, BBC Radio 4 ‘Brilliant…a book of big, heady ideas’ Guardian ‘A state of the nation novel’ TLS Rafiq Hardi Kermanj, founder of the Communist Party of Kurdistan, has fled Tehran and settled in London. As his three children embrace their new adult lives they each struggle with an increasingly desperate relationship to money: Siver, the only daughter, escapes into an unhappy marriage in Baghdad before fleeing to raise her daughter as a single mother in Dubai. Mohammed, the eldest, stays in London to climb the unforgiving ladder of the financial sector. Laika, the youngest, retreats into a contactless digital life in a condo near Wall Street, designing the trading algorithms that will ultimately prove his downfall. Sharp, topical, and powerful, Hyper is a story about what remains of our humanity in a world increasingly dominated by the flows of capital. ‘Ambitious, epic, heartfelt... I was blown away’ Fredrik Backman ‘A tightly stitched work of melancholy wit and rueful irony… Hyper evokes what it feels like to live now’ Tom Benn ‘Hyper marks the arrival of a significant, keenly perceptive new voice in literature’ Sam Byers
