[Isberg] like George Orwell and Anthony Burgess before her, lets the dystopian ironies speak for themselves.'TLS'Absolutely stunning.' HERNAN DIAZ'A masterpiece.' KAVEH AKBAR A debut novel of urgent big ideas imbued with pacy plotting and atmospheric power, by an exciting new talent. The Icelandic Psychological Association has prepared a test. They call it a sensitivity assessment: a way of measuring a person's empathy and identifying the potential for anti-social behaviour. In a few days' time, Iceland will vote on whether to make the test compulsory for every citizen. The nation is bitterly divided. Some believe the test makes society safer; others decry it as a violation. As the referendum draws closer, four people - Vetur, Eyja, Tristan and Olafur - find themselves caught in the teeth of the debate. Each of them will have to reckon with uncomfortable questions: Where do the rights of society end and the rights of the individual begin? When does utopia become dystopia?No matter which side wins, they will all have to find a way to live with the result.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Larissa Kyzer","offers":[{"title":"304 pages \/ 03\/07\/2025 \/ Modern \u0026 contemporary fiction (post c 1945)","offer_id":57299745964407,"sku":"9780571376766","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0682\/9454\/1624\/files\/9780571376766.jpg?v=1783951564","url":"https:\/\/gulpfictionbooks.com\/products\/9780571376766","provider":"Gulp Fiction","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
