"Written with flair and humanity . . . mesmerizing." -The Times (London)

"Exquisite. . . . Not since Philip K. Dick's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? have I felt so strongly about where artificial intelligence might lead us. Highly recommended." -Christina Dalcher, author of Vox

"Engaging, fast-moving and surprising . . . gives familiar science fiction themes a fresh and compassionate look, and makes of them something new." -Ken MacLeod, BSFA Award-winning author of the Lightspeed Trilogy
