“Langmead pushes his social satire so far, it acquires its own dizzying reality” – The Times
“a deft, wicked skewering of influencer culture” “deliciously sensory prose” – New Scientist

The Glitterati regularly have traumatic memories erased, allowing them to live lives of luxury and leisure, following the ever-changing tides of fashion. After Simone accidentally starts a fashion for nosebleeds at a party, a fellow fashionite takes the credit and sparks a rivalry so vicious it threatens to expose the sordid foundations of their opulent utopia. A Clockwork Orange and RuPaul’s Drag Race meet Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind in this fabulous dystopian fable about fashion, family and the feckless billionaire class.
