O książce
Lily—a bored, beautiful twenty-something—wakes up on a remote desert compound, alongside nineteen other contestants competing on a massively popular reality show. To win, she must outlast her housemates to stay in the Compound the longest, while competing in challenges for luxury rewards like champagne and lipstick, plus communal necessities to outfit their new home, like food, appliances, and a front door. Cameras are catching all her angles, good and bad, but Lily has no desire to leave: why would she, when the world outside is falling apart? As the competition intensifies, intimacy between the players deepens, and it becomes increasingly difficult to distinguish between desire and desperation. When the unseen producers raise the stakes, forcing contestants into upsetting, even dangerous situations, the line between playing the game and surviving it begins to blur. If Lily makes it to the end, she’ll receive prizes beyond her wildest dreams—but what will she have to do to win? Addictive and prescient, The Compound is an explosive debut from a major new voice in fiction and will linger in your mind long after the game ends.

Głosy czytelników
Najbardziej lubiane recenzje z Hardcover (CC BY autorzy).
“3.5 stars. I read this against my better judgment, on the basis of very strong reviews. I didn't ‘enjoy' this so much as find it thought-provoking. It did make me think about how the mad behaviour you see on reality TV is engineered behind the scenes. It felt very Foucauldian, in the sense that they were all pawns in a game being manipulated by forces they couldn't see, and which were ubiquitous. Having said that, I failed to see any broader point to the story, which, ultimately, fizzled out.”
