Anthem - Grand Format

As America spins into a chaos of environmental disaster and opioid addiction, as debate descends violence and militias roam the streets, something terrible is happening to teenagers across the world, spread by memes only they can understand. Simon Oliver has been despatched to an Anxiety Abatement Center by his super-rich parents. There he encounters another boy called the Prophet. And the Prophet wants him to join a quest ...
Soon, Simon is on the road with a crew of new comrades. Suddenly heroes of their own story, they are searching for a young woman held captive in a billionaire's retreat - and, just possibly, the last chance to escape the apocalypse bequeathed to them by their parents' generation. Uncannily topical and yet as timeless as a Grimm's fairy tale, this is a novel of excoriating power, raw emotion and narrative verve.
