Then, in February 2020, me and my then partner were on a commuter train, down on the south coast of England. She was pregnant and there was nowhere to sit, and when I looked down the carriage every person was staring silently at their phone. It was the weekend of storm Dennis, and the land was still flooded from storm Ciara. That February was the wettest ever recorded, and Covid was just beginning to dominate the news. And I had this sudden realisation that dystopia was now. The commuters on their phones, the epidemic of medicated depression, the CCTV cameras, the climate emergency, the robot voice warning us to report things that didn’t look right – this is how 20th-century writers imagined a dystopian future. I realised my power-cut story wasn’t going to be about how we might fall into a dystopia; it was going to be about how we might escape from the one we’re in. In February 2016, Disneyland adopted a demand-based pricing system for single-day admission, charging different prices for "value", "regular", and "peak" days, based on projected attendance. Approximately 30% of days will be designated as "value", mainly weekdays when school is in session, 44% will be designated as "regular", and 26% will be designated as "peak", mostly during holidays and weekends in July.

[119] A sixth and seventh tier were added in October 2021 [120] and October 2022. [121]

A: The relationship between Scots and English is a complex one. I wouldn’t say the book’s written in Scots, but it’s written in a dialect that’s very influenced by Scots, and that surprised me, to an extent, because with anything more formal than a text message I usually write in standard written English – as I’m doing here. But the idea that I “heard” the story in my head isn’t just a literary conceit. I heard it, and I heard it in this East-Central Scottish dialect – so I wrote it that way too.
