It all began at a wedding. A smile across the room. A moment of lust. A separation long overdue. Then a woman sat down...and never stood up again. Suddenly hundreds, then thousands of people are sitting down. Is it a sickness - or are they simply giving up? In the search for love, or happiness, or anything at all, is living a choice? Or is it just something that happens to us? A contemporary-dystopian speculative existential love story from a a startlingly inventive, socially provocative young author.
