Abyss

Joe Rice is adrift in the anxieties of modern life – lonely, disconnected and terminally online. His new job as an administrative assistant at the Ponos corporation seems like just another unfulfilling stop-gap. But from his first day, something is deeply wrong. The vast Canary Wharf office is empty, his line manager is a bundle of paranoid energy, and his work is monitored by WellBot, an AI wellness chatbot that demands total honesty while tracking his every move.

Abyss is a propulsive and feverish dive into the inhumanity of late-stage capitalism and the crippling anxieties of modernity and technology. Threading together his trademark thrills with a penchant for the surreal, Binge adds a new level of meaning to ‘wage slave’.
