Bright Young Things - Scarlett Thomas

''Bright Young Things wanted for Big Project.''They''re in the prime of their lives but our bright young things are all burnt out. Six sparky twenty-somethings just out of university and working dead-end jobs, they are all bored to tears with their lives and looking for a way out. When a mysterious job is advertised in the newspaper, they all apply. What they least expect is to find themselves prisoners on a deserted island. There''s food in the fridge and they have a bedroom each, but there''s no telephone, no television, and no way to escape.
