"Manalone" is set in a future Britain, where society is crumbling and over half the population is out of work. The protagonist is a physicist who notices that the laws of physics seem to be changing, and the government is trying to suppress all evidence of the past. The book tells the story of his search to uncover the truth of what's happening.
A short book, but very enjoyable. I recommend it.

That one does sound interesting. It intrigues me whenever I hear scientists talk about the possibilities of other universes having different laws of physics than ours, and the idea of being in a reality where those laws are mutating is an interesting one to explore. My TBR list is so immense that I have no idea when I'll get around to looking at it, but I just downloaded a sample.
