The Isle of Dogs

Jeremy Shepherd has hit a point of “post-ambition,” abandoning his fast-paced London life, high-paying corporate job, and flashy lifestyle to move back into his parents’ house in his hometown. By day, he works a mind-numbing, low-level civil service job, content to let the hours drift away while answering emails. However, the book dives into a darker narrative, exploring a tale of intimacy and escapism in a modern, heavily monitored surveillance society.
