Synopsis

Are you ready to come together? Are you tired of typing out your interests and hyping up the details of your everyday life? Imagine then a social network that touches and loves, sweats and farts. Imagine romance in real time. Imagine humans licking rather than double clicking each other. Imagine the Wild World. Are you ready to come together? Lonely, horny and young, Janek, Anka, Roger and Joe find themselves being dragged out of their isolated existences and towards the promise of a perfect future - in the Wild World. Sex lives and real lives and written lives merge and tangle like wires until reality begins to crumble and the sky falls in...

Media Reviews
Facebook mindfuck for the bollocks generation. I loved every funny, filthy word of it -- Nicholas Royle
Wildlife is hilarious, frightening and bonkers, like forcing a sheet of blotter acid into your computer's floppy-disk slot... Stretch's second outing finds the author somewhere between a demented, devilish David Attenborough and William S. Burroughs, exposing the disgraceful, manic behaviour of the strangest of all living creatures: ourselves -- Richard Milward
It is heartening to discover that the contemporary novel can still do amazing things... A serious meditation on technology and individualism. Ballardian in scope, and equally as exciting as his brutal debut -- Lee Rourke * Independent *
