Excellent collection * SFX *
A collection of extraordinarily clever novellas that cut right
through to the anxieties that occupy Western societies as we
continue to carve out a world that has an uneasy yet dependent
relationship with technology * SciFiNow *
A set of four superb, distinctive short stories... Doctorow's prose
is punchy and direct, but he succeeds in conjuring the most vivid
and plausible of situations with an impressive economy of words.
While he is adept at intertwining questions of contemporary
technology, culture and politics into his work, it is the calibre
of his flawed but recognisable characters that ultimately brings
these vivid short stories to life' * Starburst *
A memorable collection of fascinating characters doing their best
to survive an increasingly hostile world against the pressures of a
civilisation that seems to be spiralling out of control. This is a
highly recommended book from me -- Gareth Jones, at
SFCrowsnestinfo
Exciting and very, very cinematic... "Radicalized" is the best of
the bunch, and so clever... Fun, in a darkly, twisted sort of way'
* Concatenation *
This is no collection of preachy parables. For a start, it's often
laugh-out-loud funny... Doctorow's characters have depth and
nuance, and fighting the dystopian tide changes them' * New Frame *
