Blackbox is the first novel by British writer Nick Walker.
A stowaway dies on board a flight.
A major theme of the book is six degrees of separation, the theory that people are linked by a surprisingly small number of connections. [1]
The book is written as a countdown of 840 chapters, some as short as a few words. The author creates an atmosphere which has been compared to those in novels by Chris Morris and J. G. Ballard. [2]
The book was longlisted for the British Book Award and the Whitbread First Novel Award. [3]
