“An absolutely riveting read—a can’t-put-down look at a world very much like our own, but with all our trends fast-forwarded.” —Drew Hansen, author of The Dream

"Brilliantly inventive. Silberstein has imagined a future that somehow makes our present more intelligible...that reveals how technological advances threaten our humanity, and yet, at the center of the story is a deep human yearning that gives the book its thumping heart." —Sam Apple, author of Ravenous

"I've read thousands of sci-fi stories, and the thing that stands out for me here is the originality...it deserves to be read and enjoyed widely!" —Bryan Gaensler, author of Extreme Cosmos

"A doomsday story that eschews easy spectacle and empty chaos for a nuanced exploration of how hubris, missed opportunities, and misguided choices can lead to disaster...The final outcome is never in doubt...but the reader is drawn inexorably forward by the question: how could this possibly have happened?" —Paul McEuen, author of Spiral

"...a fantastic read. It's got that feeling of scientific credibility that comes with a Liu Cixin or Neal Stephenson book, but with the...pacing of Michael Crichton. Even once you've figured out what's going to happen at the end, enough is held back that you're on the edge of your seat until the last chapter." —Amazon customer
