Human Battery

By Gian mario Olia

In the biting winter of 2012, Alex, a twenty-one-year-old with dreams of making something of himself, arrives in London with aspirations of changing his life. But what he finds is far from his expectations: a grueling job at Da Luigi, a bustling restaurant in Soho, where twelve-hour shifts and humiliation become part of his daily routine.

Under the pressure of work and the toxic dynamics of his environment, Alex's mind begins to drift between reality and fantasy. He convinces himself that he is a "human battery," a source of energy keeping London's nightlife alive. As shadows of paranoia creep in, Alex starts to believe that dark forces are trying to manipulate him, turning every interaction into a potential betrayal.

Human Battery is a novel inspired by a true story that explores the complexities of urban life and the challenges of mental health. This is not just a tale of escape, but of an inner struggle-a cry rooted in the heart of someone who has chosen to survive against all odds. Discover how a young man confronts his fears and illusions, seeking his own truth in a world that seems unable to comprehend his pain.
