Satin Island is a 2015 novel written by Tom McCarthy. It is McCarthy's fourth novel and fifth book.
The novel follows a protagonist, "U.", an employee of the "Company" who works as an anthropologist.
The novel was well received. Duncan White, writing for The Telegraph, praised the novel's conclusion, saying it "...provokes and beguiles and, at the point of revelation, it withholds".
It has been included on the shortlist of the 2015 Man Booker Prize.
