DON'T MISS THE SERIES—NOW STREAMING EXCLUSIVELY ON PRIME VIDEO!
Flynne Fisher lives down a country road, in a rural America where jobs are scarce, unless you count illegal drug manufacture, which she’s trying to avoid. Her brother Burton lives on money from the Veterans Administration, for neurological damage suffered in the Marines’ elite Haptic Recon unit. Flynne earns what she can by assembling product at the local 3D printshop. She made more as a combat scout in an online game, playing for a rich man, but she’s had to let the shooter games go.
Wilf Netherton lives in London, seventy-some years later, on the far side of decades of slow-motion apocalypse. Things are pretty good now, for the haves, and there aren’t many have-nots left. Wilf, a high-powered publicist and celebrity-minder, fancies himself a romantic misfit, in a society where reaching into the past is just another hobby.
Burton’s been moonlighting online, secretly working security in some game prototype, a virtual world that looks vaguely like London, but a lot weirder. He’s got Flynne taking over shifts, promised her the game’s not a shooter. Still, the crime she witnesses there is plenty bad.
Flynne and Wilf are about to meet one another. Her world will be altered utterly, irrevocably, and Wilf’s, for all its decadence and power, will learn that some of these third-world types from the past can be badass.

Our take
Alexandra Oliva’s The Last One—with 4.3 out of 5 stars on Amazon—blends survival thriller with biting social commentary.

About the book
Survival is the name of the game as the line blurs between reality TV and reality itself in Alexandra Oliva’s fast-paced novel of suspense.
She wanted an adventure. She never imagined it would go this far.
It begins with a reality TV show. Twelve contestants are sent into the woods to face challenges that will test the limits of their endurance. While they are out there, something terrible happens—but how widespread is the destruction, and has it occurred naturally or is it man-made? Cut off from society, the contestants know nothing of it. When one of them—a young woman the show’s producers call Zoo—stumbles across the devastation, she can imagine only that it is part of the game.
Alone and disoriented, Zoo is heavy with doubt regarding the life—and husband—she left behind, but she refuses to quit. Staggering countless miles across unfamiliar territory, Zoo must summon all her survival skills—and learn new ones as she goes.
But as her emotional and physical reserves dwindle, she grasps that the real world might have been altered in terrifying ways—and her ability to parse the charade will be either her triumph or her undoing.
Sophisticated and provocative, The Last One is a novel that forces us to confront the role that media plays in our perception of what is real: how readily we cast our judgments, how easily we are manipulated.

Our take
Samanta Schweblin’s Little Eyes—a New York Times Notable Book and Guardian Best Fiction pick—unveils the sinister allure of kentukis, cute devices that connect strangers worldwide. With 4.3 out of 5 stars on Amazon, this Man Booker–shortlisted author delivers a chilling, imaginative tale that blends intimacy and horror in our hyperconnected age. Dark, unsettling, and unforgettable.
Choose your retailer
About the book
They’re not pets. Not robots. Not ghosts. They’re kentukis—small, furry devices that watch, listen, and connect strangers across the globe. Cute enough to cuddle, unsettling enough to haunt, they slip into homes and lives from Hong Kong to Indiana, linking people who will never meet, but who can see everything about one another.
At first, the kentukis bring connection and wonder. Children laugh, couples bond, strangers share secrets. But the novelty curdles. With anonymity comes voyeurism, manipulation, obsession. What was sold as companionship becomes a lens into humanity’s darkest corners.
From Man Booker–shortlisted author Samanta Schweblin, Little Eyes is a visionary novel of intimacy and horror in our hyperconnected world—a story that feels not like the future, but like the uncanny now.
