'This book is smart, funny and genuinely unique, exploring ways in which intelligence, naive ambition, freedom and unchecked optimism led to our current dystopian moment. It plays with both the tech world and the literary canon, commenting on a depraved new world as flawed and historically contingent as its predecessors. One Story drew me into the complex characters and relationships of the powerful, showing the ways in which their human eccentricities and desires can have outsize impact, and it also made me laugh, often, which is the best thing a book can do.' * Anna Kate Blair, author of THE MODERN * 'One Story is a perfect account of ambition, audacity, and gleefully terrible behaviour. The sentences are sharp, the longing is queer, and Dot is a genius weirdo who’s so funny, I’d let her get away with anything. I loved this book so much.' * Jane Flett, author of FREAKSLAW * 'So funny, so weird, so joyfully cynical and blisteringly smart. One Story reads like a throwback to the excess and intelligence of David Foster Wallace and the 90s school of digression, with a driving plot and queer heartbeat.' * Mikaella Clements and Onjuli Datta, authors of FEAST WHILE YOU CAN *
