Truly thought-provoking ... delves into the darker side of the desire to be visible-Jen Faulkner
In a brand new country, ruled by the most famous of its citizens, visibility is all that matters. But if Tamsin doesn't act quickly, neither she nor her best friend Charlotte will ever be seen again.
Tamsin, a reclusive engineer, is the only viewer who can see where Charlotte's 'hot new reality show' is heading - the finale will be the end of her.
To get near the film set, Tamsin's only option is to put her shyness aside and build herself a sensational backstory, a springboard of lies that will propel her all the way to the infamous People's Republic of Love.
But she does not understand how this country works, with its intoxicating blend of power and popularity. The Republic will give you everything you've ever wanted... if you hand over your whole self in return.
