The Deserted Island

The end is sometimes the most obvious place to begin. And so it is with 'The Deserted Island', which begins after the end of Nosnibor's 2018 dystopian exploration of consumerism and mind control, 'Retail Island'. 'The Deserted Island' finds Robert Ashton recalled to the offices of pharmaceutical company Medico under the auspices of an inquiry into previous events. What follows is a Kafka-esque labyrinth of confusion, against a backdrop of the eternal march of late capitalism. 'The Deserted Island' is an intense and claustrophobic work, with nods to Ballard and Beckett.
