This is the prototype. The first step to a new future. A future in which distance is no longer a barrier to human contact. And all it takes is a simple transport unit, in every home, every street, every town ... Questioning and innovative, Appliance is much more than a novel. It examines our faith in technology, our hunger for new things and the rapid changes affecting all our lives. Finalist for the Orwell Prize for Political Fiction 2022.
