Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Stross is peerless…It’s one nightmarish panopticon that Stross has built here, and I can think of no greater testament to its effectiveness than my own relief at having been liberated from it.” —New York Times Book Review
“Brilliant…With nods to Kafka, James Tiptree, and others, Stross’ wry SF thriller satisfies on all levels, with memorable characters and enough brain-twisting extrapolation for five novels.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Stross turns in another bravura performance with a fanciful glimpse at life in the twenty-seventh century…Stross amusingly recasts our own era into one of the ‘meaningless customs’ while blending suspenseful action with inventive, futuristic technology.” —Booklist
“Hugo Award winner Stross takes an original and often playful approach to his visions of the future. He examines questions of identity, gender, and the human condition in the context of the SF thriller.” —Library Journal
“A perfectly tuned combination of gravitas and glee (the literary/cultural references are a blast). Stross’ enthralling blend of action, extrapolation, and analysis delivers surprise after surprise.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
“A fascinating story…If you like sci-fi with lots of technical jargon, you’ll like this book.” —RT Book Reviews

Charles Stross is the author of the bestselling Merchant Princes series, the Laundry series, and several stand-alone novels, including Glasshouse, Accelerando, and Saturn’s Children.
