Everything You Ever Wanted
A beautiful new planet. A meaningful new life. Are you ready?
You wake up. You go to work. You don't go outside for twelve hours at a time. You have strategy meetings about how to use hashtags. After work, you order expensive drink after expensive drink until you're so blackout drunk you can't remember the circumstances which have led you to waking up in bed with your colleague.
The next day, you stay in bed until the afternoon, scrolling through your social media feeds and wondering why everyone else seems to be achieving so much. Sometimes you don't get out of bed at all.
Then you hear about Life on Nyx, a programme that allows 100 lucky winners the chance to escape it all, move to another planet and establish a new way of life. One with meaning and purpose. One without Instagram and online dating. There's one caveatβif you go, you can never come back.
But you aren't worried about that.
After all, what on Earth could there possibly be to miss?
Everything You Ever Wanted by Luiza Sauma explores the possibilities of escape and the quest for a life that truly matters.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Everything You Ever Wanted by Luiza Sauma is praised for its sensitive exploration of contemporary life's frustrations and humour. The novel is noted for capturing the zeitgeist, addressing themes of social media addiction, and status anxiety with sharp, satirical precision. While delving into depression and anxiety, it remains an ambitious mix of speculative drama and office satire, earning acclaim for its original voice and poignant insights into the human condition.
