They say love can save you. They never said it could kill you too. Twenty years in the future, a mysterious energy—tention—has rewired the human mind. Now, simply looking at someone transfers power to them. Lose too much, and you die. But if enough people focus on you, you can live forever. Mila has a plan: become a movie star, gather all the tention she needs, and secure her immortality. But fame is fickle, and when her career crumbles, she turns to music—and the city listens. With every performance, her power grows. But something is wrong. A new kind of killer stalks the streets, draining victims dry. And powerful forces are watching her, waiting. Mila is drawn into a battle for control of tention itself, one that could reshape the future—or end it entirely. To survive, she must push beyond the limits of fame, love, and even life itself. Because in a world where attention is everything, the wrong kind of fame can be deadly. If you loved the underground music revolution of Sarah Pinsker’s A Song for a New Day and the high-stakes dystopia of In Time, Attention Deficit will pull you into a future where fame isn’t just power—it’s survival.

Nearly all of us have to work, but how much do we really know about what other people do all day? What is it like to be a fishmonger, a sex worker or an Orthodox rabbi? Or a banker, a research scientist or a carer? How do our jobs affect our lives, beliefs and happiness? And what happens when we don't work? Joanna Biggs has travelled the country to find the answers, talking to interns and bosses, professionals and entrepreneurs, thinkers and doers. She takes us from Westminster to the Outer Hebrides, from a hospital in Wales to the industrial Midlands, introducing us to different worlds of work and the people who inhabit them. Rich with the voices of the wealthy and poor, native and immigrant, women and men of the UK in the twenty-first century, All Day Long shows us who we are through what we do.
