Reviews

A gripping read, a literary blockbuster with brains
*Observer*

Featuring an explosive twist-in-the-tail climax, this terrifying hybrid of Orwell’s Nineteen-Eighty-Four and Zamyatin’s We is a triumph
*Guardian*

A dark satire … The Warehouse fires an exhilaratingly unsubtle broadside against a world where the wage gap is becoming a yawning chasm
*Financial Times*

A thrilling, thought provoking read … almost more fact than fiction
*Daily Express*

A convincing, horrifying post-Orwellian future … brilliantly imagined
*BBC Culture US*

Rob Hart’s “The Warehouse” conjures a warped but recognizable near-future America that nails the dystopia-as-utopia aspect of our worst nightmares. Like the best dystopian fiction, “The Warehouse” holds up a dark mirror to our times.
*San Francisco Chronicle*

The Warehouse raises questions about how much power and control we should allow one company to have. When a hugely profitable business says their aim is to build a better world, should we take them at their word?
*BBC Science Focus*

A thriller of ideas, and its interplay of taut action and incisive cultural commentary gives it shades of Fahrenheit 451 and Jurassic Park ... When [it] lives in this dissonance between good intentions and corporate desolation, it really shines
*USA Today*

“On the surface, The Warehouse is a thrilling story of corporate espionage at the highest level, but dig a little deeper, and you’ll find a terrifying cautionary tale of the nightmare world we are making for ourselves—where our reliance upon e-commerce giants is turning them into malevolent entities more powerful than government.”
*Blake Crouch, New York Times bestselling author of Dark Matter*

“I loved The Warehouse, although and because it made my blood run cold. The world Rob Hart creates is what our world could be by this time next year. Watching these oh so human characters try to cope, even thrive, in their new normal makes one alternately hopeful and despairing. Bravo!”
*SJ Rozan, author of Ghost Hero*
