Stormland (2021)
John Shirley
"One of our best and most singular writers. A powerhouse of ideas and imagery."
thumb
Autonomous (2017)
Annalee Newitz
"Something genuinely and thrillingly new in the naturalistic, subjective, paradoxically humanistic but non-anthropomorphic depiction of bot-POV - and all in the service of vivid, solid storytelling."
thumb
Tropic of Kansas (2017)
Christopher Brown
"Futurist as provocateur! The world is sheer batshit genius . . . a truly hallucinatorily envisioned environment."
