Substance is published in hardback by Simon & Schuster UK on October 6, 2016.

Substance begins where Unknown Pleasures left off: “We didn’t really think about it afterwards, it just sort of happened. One day we were Joy Division and the next time we got together, we were a new band,” Hook writes.

Hook promises to address the band’s break-up in 2008 while the book will include every New Order set list and tour itinerary, along with “geek facts” of every piece of electronic equipment used by the band.
