Synopsis

* LONGLISTED FOR THE BOOKER PRIZE 2026 * A TIMES BESTSELLER *

'A visionary and brilliant investigation of anxious times' CHINA MIÉVILLE
'Elucidates humanity's disintegrating existence with strange clarity' GUARDIAN
'Speaks with uncanny indirectness to our deepest fears about collective memory and big tech' TELEGRAPH
'Memorable, haunting ... a world that's all the more uncanny on account of its proximity to our own' IRISH TIMES
'Everything to do with the tenor of how we live now. It will get deep into your bones' CHRIS POWER

Phillip Tennent makes his living at the tideline, collecting artefacts that wash up from the Channel. It's been years since the crisis changed everything, but its exact nature remains obscure. Government barely functions, the seas are full of new creatures, Europe has been mislaid. It feels like the end.

Now Phillip has fished out of the water an object he can't keep. A creature that keeps changing. An artefact he must take inland, before it destroys everything he thinks he knows. The End of Everything is a slyly satirical and unsettling post-apocalyptic adventure into the limits of human understanding from the peerless master of contemporary fiction.

'A work of genius' NEW SCIENTIST
'At once surreal, seductive, shrewdly funny and wholly terrifying' JULIA ARMFIELD
'This is powerful stuff ... Thrilling and disturbing' MARK HADDON
'I loved this book so much' SARAH JESSICA PARKER
