Reviews
"As fresh and compelling as it is high concept ... Packed with dry humor, satirical swipes at the twenty-first century, and vivid characters....Immensely enjoyable."โSFX "Welcome to the 21st Century....Echoes of Bradbury and Orwell, in the service of a crackerjack conspiracy plot; a seductively intriguing work of speculative fiction."โKirkus "The leaps of time, identity, and chronology create a dark, chillingly claustrophobic atmosphere."โPublishers Weekly "Dickinson has created a bleak future world and spins a plot most appropriate for readers who appreciate ambiguity."
โBooklist "The story is slowly but surely teased out, intermittently dropping little details while advancing the plot at a breathtaking pace ... among the most gripping of any SF novel we've read this year."โSciFiNow "Riveting"โThe Sunday Times Expand reviews
