PopCo

Scarlett Thomas

Alice Butler has been receiving some odd messages – all anonymous, all written in code. Are they from someone at PopCo, the profit-hungry corporation she works for? Or from Alice’s long lost father? Or has someone else been on her trail? The solution, she is sure, will involve the code-breaking skills she learned from her grandparents and the key she’s been wearing round her neck since she was ten. PopCo is a grown-up adventure of family secrets, puzzles, big business and the power of numbers.

Reviews of PopCo

Ambitious, thought-provoking fun. * Sunday Times * This book might just change your life. — Suzi Feay * Independent on Sunday * A wonderfully fresh and ambitious novel. — Jonathan Coe * Evening Standard * An outright amazement. * Scotland on Sunday * An anticorporate fable with enough code-breaking tips, puzzles and graphs, charts, postscripts and appendixes to satisfy Lewis Carroll. * New York Times * Frankly this novel is a bewitching, dizzying triumph. * Scotsman *
