Reading like something between Big Brother and Black Mirror, The Special Ones is a darkly hypnotic and deeply unnerving novel. To be replaced by somebody else from the world, somebody else to be held prisoner.
And when they can’t perform their identities, when they fail in their role as one of the Special Ones, they are sent off to be renewed. They must live a life of simplicity and meaningfulness to their followers nightly chat sessions where The Special Ones answer their problems, and obediently confessing their sins in the middle of the night to be punished. They are four individuals who have been removed from their former lives to live in a remote farmhouse under the watchful eye of him because he believes that they are the reincarnated totems of a cult.
