“A new book from crazy genius Watts is always cause for celebration… Watts is one of those writers who gets into your brain and remains lodged there like an angry, sentient tumor.”
“[Watts] asks the questions that the best science fiction writers ask, but that the rest of us may be afraid to answer.”
“Watts displays a gleefully macabre inventiveness combined with scientific rigour.”
“Peter Watts is some precisely engineered hybrid of Lucius Shepard and Gregory Benford, lyrical yet hard-edged, purveyor of sleek surfaces and also the ethical and spiritual contents inside.”
