What They're Saying
Critics Review
Praise for Change Agent
“Biopunk has been waiting for its William Gibson, to bring a whole new vision of the future as Mr. Gibson did for cyberpunk, and Daniel Suarez has done it…Exhilarating, alarming—Daniel Suarez plays the two great thrills of sci-fi against each other, and not just for fun. He thinks this is coming, and he means it. Read it and wonder.”—Wall Street Journal
“Terrifyingly plausible.”—Time
“Besides being a rockin’ thriller, Change Agent is a vivid depiction of where ubiquitous gene editing might take us. I came away believing I’ll be less surprised by the future.”—Kevin Kelly, Senior Maverick for Wired and New York Times bestselling author of The Inevitable
“The depth and sophistication of Suarez’s dystopian world—not to mention his facility at making complex science intelligible to the nonexpert—rivals anything Michael Crichton ever did.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“The action scenes are plenty lively, [but] the best thing about the book is its depiction of a troublesome future in which people can change physical identities the way they change clothes…A natural at making future shocks seem perfectly believable, Suarez delivers his most entertaining high-tech thriller yet.”—Kirkus Reviews
“The ultimate form of identity theft is just a genetic edit away in Suarez’s newest fast-paced, speculative thriller…Offer this to Michael Crichton and science fiction-suspense fans.”—Booklist
