Reviews
Written with flair and humanity... mesmerising.
* The Times *'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.'
'Consistently engaging, fast-moving and surprising, The Actuality gives familiar science fiction themes a fresh and compassionate look, and makes of them something new.'
The Actuality is smart, literary science fiction.
* Infinite Speculation *The Actuality offers a rich contemplation of ethical and philosophical questions about artificial life and intelligence.
