      You wake up. You go to work. You don't go outside for twelve hours at a time. You have strategy meetings about how to use hashtags. After work you order expensive drink after expensive drink until you're so blackout drunk you can't remember the circumstances which have led you to waking up in bed with your colleague. The next day you stay in bed until the afternoon, scrolling through your social media feeds and wondering why everyone else seems to be achieving so much. Sometimes you don't get out of bed at all. Then you hear about Life on Nyx, a programme that allows 100 lucky winners the chance to escape it all, move to another planet and establish a new way of life. One with meaning and purpose. One without Instagram and online dating. There's one caveat: if you go, you can never come back. But you aren't worried about that. After all, what on Earth could there possibly be to miss?

      Everything You Ever Wanted
    • »Wunderbar vielschichtig und mitreißend erzählt.« Elle Selbst nach Jahrzehnten in London kann André seine Heimat nicht vergessen: Rio de Janeiro und den sonnengetränkten Strand von Ipanema. Besonder verfolgen ihn die Erinnerungen an den Sommer 1985. Es war der Sommer, als seine Mutter starb. Und der Sommer, als er sich in das Dienstmädchen Luana verliebte. Eine geheime, eine unmögliche Liebe. Dreißig Jahre später schreibt Luana ihm einen Brief, und André reist nach Brasilien. Er will sich endlich der Verantwortung stellen, vor der er als junger Mann geflohen war, und muss die schmerzhafte Erfahrung machen, dass manche Versäumnisse endgültig sind.
