Facebook mindfuck for the bollocks generation. I loved every funny, filthy word of it -- Nicholas Royle Wildlife is hilarious, frightening and bonkers, like forcing a sheet of blotter acid into your computer's floppy-disk slot... Stretch's second outing finds the author somewhere between a demented, devilish David Attenborough and William S. Burroughs, exposing the disgraceful, manic behaviour of the strangest of all living creatures: ourselves -- Richard Milward It is heartening to discover that the contemporary novel can still do amazing things... A serious meditation on technology and individualism. Ballardian in scope, and equally as exciting as his brutal debut -- Lee Rourke Independent
