Satirical novel Universality examines modern British society through a series of shifting perspectives connected to a shocking crime. When an illegal rave at a Yorkshire farmhouse during lockdown ends with a man getting bludgeoned with a solid gold bar, an ambitious young journalist writes a viral exposé about the incident. The narrative then deconstructs that report, revealing how words and information can be manipulated for power and profit.
LONGLISTED FOR THE BOOKER PRIZE 2025
On an abandoned Yorkshire farm, a group of hippie-anarchists have taken up residence to build a new society. When their leader is brutally bludgeoned with a solid gold bar, an ambitious young journalist sets out to uncover the truth behind the attack. The longread exposé she writes goes viral – but is there more to the story than meets the eye?
Universality unravels the messy aftermath of that exposé through the perspective of each of the mystery’s key players: a self-pitying banker, a columnist with secrets, a cult leader with dreams, and a fugitive with nothing left to lose.
The follow-up to Natasha Brown’s Assembly is a twisty, slippery story of media, class, power and truth. Cutting through the noise, it reveals British society today for what it is.
