“I remember my sharp delight, in 1993 on first discovering <i>Vurt</i>’s hallucinogenic VR-induced Manchester. It instantly became one of my favourite examples of new directions in science fiction, and remains so these decades later!”<br />– <b>William Gibson</b>, author of <i>Neuromancer</i> and <i>The Peripheral</i><br /> <br />“An intense, blistering story about the price of knowledge, full of dreamers and borderlands.”<br />– <b>Lauren Beukes,</b> author of <i>The Shining Girls</i><br /> <br />“Passionate, distinctive, demanding and enthralling.”<br />– <i><b>The Times</b></i><br /> <br />“A gripping piece of speculative fiction.”<br />–<i><b> The Guardian</b></i><br /> <br />“Refreshing, disturbing and original.”<br /><b>– <i>The Independent</i></b><br /> <br />“An audacious fantasia, exhibiting a narrative daring and command few new writers can boast, sweeping the reader along as though it were a Vurt feather-trip itself.”<br />– <i><b>Publishers Weekly</b></i><br /> <br />“Subversive, transgressive. It gets under your skin like Cronenberg.”<br /><b>– Chuck Wendig</b><br /><br />“These books, the best books, discover the essential human notes of their times, and they ring so strongly down the decades that we remember them still.”<br /><b>– Warren Ellis</b>, author of <b><i>Transmetropolitan</i></b><br /><br />“Vivid, restless, street-writing, neon-noir, ranging widely through fantasies and rationalities. An utterly unique, quite brilliant piece of writing.”<br />– <b>Adam Roberts, </b>author of <i>Jack Glass <br /><br /></i>“<i>Vurt </i>was a better Philip K. Dick novel than most of Dick’s own books”<br /><i><b>– Richard Kadrey</b><br /></i>
