Bruce Sterling recommends
Homunculus (1986)
(Langdon St. Ives, book 1)
James P Blaylock
"A writer of great vigor, charm, and perception."
White Queen (1991)
(Aleutian, book 1)
Gwyneth Jones
"Thoroughly original, genuinely weird, and stuffed to bursting with deep-dyed genre virtue."
Corrupting Dr Nice (1997)
John Kessel
"Kessel's darkly comic vision is wackily funny, brilliantly cruel, and joitingly powerful - like silly putty cut with high tech plastic explosives."
Demons (2000)
John Shirley
"John Shirley accomplishes things that most writers would not dare to attempt."
Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom (2003)
Cory Doctorow
"He sparkles! He fizzes! He does backflips and breaks the furniture. Science Fiction needs Cory Doctorow."
Tropic of Kansas (2017)
Christopher Brown
"Tropic of Kansas is the tale of a politically desperate USA haunted by a sullen, feral teen who is Huck Finn, Conan and Tarzan. Because it’s Chris Brown’s own imaginary America, this extraordinary novel is probably more American than America itself will ever get."
The Extractionist (2022)
Kimberly Unger
"Our heroine is a business consultant, but we live in her cyborg brain, we see every detail through her augmented eyes, and the future world she haunts is crammed with invention to the point of psychedelia. I quite enjoyed this."
