Description Award-winning author Sylvain Neuvel explores an immigration dystopia in The Test Britain, the not-too-distant future.
Idir is sitting the British Citizenship Test.
He wants his family to belong.
Twenty-five questions to determine their fate.
Twenty-five chances to impress.
When the test takes an unexpected and tragic turn, Idir is handed the power of life and death.
How do you value a life when all you have is multiple choice?About the author Sylvain Neuvel has taught linguistics in India, and worked as a software engineer in Montreal.
He is also a certified translator, though he wishes he were an astronaut.
His girlfriend would have him believe that he has too many toys, so he writes about aliens and giant robots as a blatant excuse to build action figures (for his son, of course).
His debut, Sleeping Giants, was described by NPR as one of the most promising series kickoffs in recent memory.
