Reviews

"An eerily plausible dystopian masterpiece, as harrowing as it is brilliant"—Emily St. John Mandel, bestselling author of Station Eleven "An extraordinary novel that stands with the best of dystopian fiction, with dashes of The Handmaid's Tale."—Cory Doctorow "Everybody needs to read 84K. Consistently thoughtful fiction like this needs to be championed. I'll admit it, I'm a little in awe of the author. Her work is sublime.... Claire North deserves your undivided attention. Buy the book, read it. Your brain will thank you.... If there was a rating higher than highly recommended this book would receive it."—The Eloquent Page "A terrifying setting that feels rooted to the present day.... Imbued with a menace that feels both recognizable and urgent, and the decisions the characters make as a result feel uncomfortably real."—RT Book Reviews "Another captivating novel from one of the most intriguing and genre-bending novelists currently working in the intersection between thriller and science fiction."—Booklist (starred review) "A furious, confrontational book that's extremely smart... its energy is infectious and its ideas are fiercely provocative."—SciFiNow "Put simply, this book just blew my mind. A remarkable writer, doing extraordinary things, and I think this is her best book yet."—Blue Book Balloon "Claire North goes from strength to strength.... A tense, moving story."—Guardian "The grimy, meticulously constructed and worrisomely believable dystopia Claire North has created for 84k is our world, just a few years down the path."—NPR "One of the most distinct and compelling SF novels of the year thus far."—Toronto Star "A dystopian anthem for the modern activist... a cracking thriller.... Quite simply, North's best book so far."—Starburst "Evocative, thought-provoking... I'll read anything she writes."—Omnivoracious "The truly scary thing about 84K is how convincing this dark, brutal class-divided Britain is."—SFX "Vivid and disturbing."—Publishers Weekly "A fascinating look at the decisions society is taking now."—The Bookbag "Claire North's writing is terrific, smart, and entertaining."—Patrick Ness on The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August "Claire North is a true original, a master of ingenious plotting and feats of imagination."

—Alex Marwood, author of The Wicked Girls, on The Sudden Appearance of Hope "Wonderful novel...held together by a compelling mystery involving nothing less than the end of the world itself. Beautifully written and structured...a remarkable book."—Booklist (starred review) on The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August "A subtle study of friendship, love and the complexity of existence."—Eric Brown, Guardian on The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August "Wholly original and hauntingly beautiful. North is a writer to watch."—Kirkus on The End of the Day "North is [a] consistently intriguing writer."—Locus on The End of the Day Expand reviews
