Vurt

“I remember my sharp delight, in 1993 on first discovering Vurt’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!”
– William Gibson, author of Neuromancer and The Peripheral

“An intense, blistering story about the price of knowledge, full of dreamers and borderlands.”
– Lauren Beukes, author of The Shining Girls

“Passionate, distinctive, demanding and enthralling.”
– The Times

“A gripping piece of speculative fiction.”
– The Guardian

“Refreshing, disturbing and original.”
– The Independent

“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.”
– Publishers Weekly

“Subversive, transgressive. It gets under your skin like Cronenberg.”
– Chuck Wendig

“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.”
– Warren Ellis, author of Transmetropolitan

“Vivid, restless, street-writing, neon-noir, ranging widely through fantasies and rationalities. An utterly unique, quite brilliant piece of writing.”
– Adam Roberts, author of Jack Glass

“Vurt was a better Philip K. Dick novel than most of Dick’s own books”
– Richard Kadrey
