Synopsis "WILMSLOW 2036"

Richard Davenport wakes up one morning to discover that he is dead. Not medically. Administratively. According to the government, the banks, the NHS and almost every other computer system that matters, Richard Davenport ceased to exist on 30 September 2036. Which is inconvenient, because Richard is very much alive. No access. No services. No identity. Just the exquisitely polite assurance that his record cannot be found. What begins as a bureaucratic mistake becomes something altogether more disturbing. There are documents Richard never signed. Decisions nobody remembers making. People whose identities have quietly been altered, replaced or erased. And somewhere inside the machinery of modern Britain, human decisions have started becoming something else entirely. With an increasingly unlikely collection of neighbours, civil servants, technicians and accidental investigators, Richard sets out to prove the one thing nobody should ever have to prove: that he exists. But the deeper they look, the stranger it becomes. Because this isn't simply a computer error. Someone built the system this way. And the system is working perfectly. WILMSLOW 2036 is a sharply observed, darkly comic British thriller about bureaucracy, technology, identity and what happens when the machines designed to make life easier become considerably more powerful than the people operating them. The future has arrived. Unfortunately, nobody can log in.
