It all started when John “Minnie” Moore built a mine in Idaho and sold it to Englishman Henry Miller. Then Henry married a local lass named Annie and built her a mansion. After Henry died and Annie was hoodwinked – losing all but the mansion – she and her son took to raising pigs, as some are wont to do. But the town wanted those pigs out. Who could have guessed that Annie would remove the whole mansion instead – rolling it away slowly on logs – while she and her son were still living in it?

Narrated with metafictional flair, make way for history as only Dave Eggers could stage it.

‘Gulpable fictive entertainment . . . Eggers is a wonderful storyteller with an alert and defiant vision’ Observer

When the world’s largest search engine / social media company merges with the planet’s dominant e-commerce site, it creates the richest and most dangerous-and, oddly enough, most beloved-monopoly ever known: The Every.

Delaney Wells is an unlikely new hire. A former forest ranger and unwavering tech skeptic, she charms her way into an entry-level job with one goal in mind: to take down the company from within. With her compatriot, the not-at-all-ambitious Wes Kavakian, they look for the company’s weaknesses, hoping to free humanity from all-encompassing surveillance and the emoji-driven infantilization of the species. But does anyone want what Delaney is fighting to save? Does humanity truly want to be free?

Studded with unforgettable characters and lacerating set-pieces, The Every blends satire and terror, while keeping the reader in breathless suspense about the fate of the company – and the human animal.

‘More playful and satirical than Orwell . . . it scores as a series of brilliant set pieces and a devastating overall critique.’ Sunday Times

‘Part of the genius of this remarkable piece of satire, riven as it is with horribly plausible ideas and horribly good jokes. . . . What Eggers does so well is make The Every alluring as well as alarming…’ The Times

‘You read it and think: yes, this is set in the future but it is actually going on here and now. It is an urgent and necessary book. It’s also fun. You catch more flies with honey than vinegar’ The Scotsman

‘Tightly written, carefully designed to wrong-foot preconceptions, and astute . . . An intensely gripping story’ Evening Standard

An unnamed country is leaving the darkness of a decade at war, and to commemorate the armistice the government commissions a new road connecting two halves of the state.

Two men, foreign contractors from the same company, are sent to finish the highway. While one is flighty and adventurous, wanting to experience the nightlife and people, the other wants only to do the work and go home. But both men must eventually face the absurdities of their positions, and the dire consequences of their presence.

With echoes of J. M. Coetzee and Graham Greene, this timeless novel questions whether we can ever understand another nation’s war, and what role we have in forging anyone’s peace.

‘Immensely readable and very timely’ Metro

‘Prescient, important and enjoyable . . . a deft modern synthesis of Swiftian wit with Orwellian prognostication’ Guardian

‘Dave Eggers has written a superb memoir… The work soars because it is, simply and tremendously, an honest and moving account of one man’s life. In the process, he reminds me that while the language and style of literature are always changing, it is forever about coming to terms with the timeless conflicts of the human heart…Like all authors, he uses his life and imagination to make sense of the world. Like the very best writers, he does not manufacture cheap answers.’

The News & Observer

‘The story is at once funny, tender, annoying and, yes, heartbreaking – an epic about family and how families fracture and fragment and somehow, through all the tumult and upset, manage to endure . . . A virtuosic piece of writing, a big, daring, manic-depressive stew of a book that noisily announces the debut of a talented – yes, staggeringly talented new writer’ Michiko Kakutani, New York Times

‘Eggers is an original new voice, the real thing. When you read his extraordinary memoir you don’t laugh, then cry, then laugh again; you somehow experience these emotions all at once – and powerfully’ David Remnick

‘The force and energy of this book could power a train’ David Sedaris
