Inventing the Future is a bold new manifesto for life after capitalism. Against the confused understanding of our high-tech world by both the right and the left, this book claims that the emancipatory and future-oriented possibilities of our society can be reclaimed. Instead of running from a complex future, Nick Srnicek and Alex Williams demand a postcapitalist economy capable of advancing standards, liberating humanity from work and developing technologies that expand our freedoms.

Their journey is finally at an end, but their new reality has only just begun. In a desolate city, haunted by memories at every corner, Will – with Chloe and Daniel beside him – must make a new life from the wreckage of the A-Virus. But as grief and isolation divides them, and problems surmount them, one question screams through it all: Are they truly alone in this world? Or is there somebody else out there? Watching.

Having seen no human life for two days, Will and Chloe never expect to hear a car engine. To see the car emerging over the hill. To see the shotgun-wielding men emerge from it. The gun pointed directly at them. The men’s grins nothing but friendly. Because for Chloe and Will, the men have a purpose. A purpose which could not be more terrible.

Just as it looks like all hope is lost, Will receives a text message from a friend he thought dead. Asking if anyone is still out there. If anyone is still alive. The problem: Will is in London. His friend is in Brighton. But after calling and getting no reply, Will makes the decision without hesitation. He will make the long journey to Brighton, across the silent, deathly wasteland that the world has become. Yet, it is a journey that he will not have to make alone . . . Episode two in The A-Virus Series–short listens that weave a thrilling, post-apocalyptic tale!

Will Batchelor hates his new life in London, the private school his father forces him to go to. He misses Brighton. He misses his friends. He misses home. But little does Will realise that his problems are about to pale into insignificance. That lurking on the horizon is a threat like no other. Unseen. Contagious. Deadly. As his world crumbles, is there anything he can do to save it? Or will he lose everything he loves, and everyone?
