Days

See all formats and editions

Originally published to unprecedented and widespread praise ('exceptional brilliance' INTERZONE, 'sharp funny and brutal' THE TIMES) DAYS has been described as a cross between JG Ballard and even Jonathan Swift.

It describes one day in the life of the Days gigastore, a massive shop seven storeys high and 2.5 kilometres on a side.

Within its walls you can buy anything and everything.

But there is a price to be paid. A savagely funny satire on a society obsessed with consumption DAYS paints a picture of a future that is just around the corner.

It is a remarkable feat of visionary writing; blackly funny, lyrical and tightly plotted.

It has affirmed James Lovegrove's position as one of the key writers of fantastic fiction in the UK today.
