Irvine Welsh's Can Nothing Save Us? is an American family saga centered on Luke Ayrton, a college dropout working Las Vegas nightlife who is estranged from his Maga-supporting parents and living with his wealthy boomer grandparents, George and Molly.
George is a Vietnam veteran who witnessed the My Lai massacre and survived the 2017 Mandalay Bay shooting; his backstory feeds into a plot that converges on a mass shooting at a fictional festival called Our Rave's Electric.
The book explores inheritance, generational conflict, and gun violence as ongoing American fixtures, reportedly moving between the perspectives of Luke, his grandparents, and his estranged parents Gina and Don.
