Life in 3D
Marc Cassin
Life in 3D is a raw, darkly comic coming-of-age novel set against the backdrop of early-1980s Britain and a chaotic beer-fuelled journey across Europe. Through the successive, sharp eyed perspectives of three very disparate young men, Dex, Dab and Des, from different regions of mainland Britain, the story captures male friendship, class identity, bravado, vulnerability, and the quiet moments of reckoning that surface amid excess. What begins as a reckless lads’ trip unfolds into a textured exploration of belonging, trauma, masculinity, and self-awareness. The narrative balances humour with discomfort, nostalgia with unease, and episodic adventure with emotional depth. Beneath the profanity and bravado lies a reflective core—an emerging recognition of stagnation, missed possibilities, and the desire for change. Life in 3D is unsentimental, observational, and deeply human, offering an unfiltered portrait of youth on the edge of adulthood, and the subtle turning points that shape a life long after the hangovers fade.
