BRIOHNY DOYLE is the author of the critically acclaimed cli-fi novel The Island Will Sink, a darkly funny vision of an anomalous postmodern world where virtual reality and environmental catastrophe collide. The Island Will Sink is the first book from The Lifted Brow, you can order it here.

Her second book, Adult Fantasy, investigates the cultural underpinnings of adulthood, venturing into the big claims of philosophy and the neon buzz of pop culture to ask: in a rapidly changing world, do the so-called adult milestones distract us from more pressing conversations about maturity? You can order that one here. Or you can head to the places good books are sold and find both!

Here’s what people are saying:

‘It’s dangerous to declare anyone the voice of your generation, but if Briohny Doyle was declared the voice of mine, I’d be nothing short of honoured. In this book, she somehow articulates and refines every foggy frustration and anxiety millennials feel about their status, place in life, and where they’re headed. This is a book of consolation – reminding us we’re not insane or alone – and revelation, by asking all the right questions and finding answers that never fail to surprise and help.’
