10:04 is a contemporary novel grounded in real time - 2015 New York. The protagonist is in the midst of writing a novel, whilst thinking about the possibility of becoming a father in a city that he thinks may eventually end up underwater.

This novel captures a feeling of indeterminacy and what it is like to be alive in our contemporary world. I wouldn’t say this novel has a very gripping plot, but its meta-fiction and ideas are extremely clever.
