What They're Saying

Critics Review

Satire reminiscent of Douglas Adams or Rob Grant

Nineteen Eighty-Four meets Vonnegutian slapstick in a free-wheeling satire spliced with black humour and some gloriously wicked social commentary. * GUARDIAN *
This brave new world is revealed in a series of pin-sharp, unsettling and scathing vignettes… Brilliant satire and a great read that is currently in production as an HBO TV series. * DAILY MAIL *
As the carrier for a slew of satirical ideas about the state of our internet-enabled society, Marc-Uwe Kling’s international bestseller is full of zing from first page to last… a dystopian comic yarn comparable to Black Mirror, Kurt Vonnegut or Philip K Dick * THE TIMES *
QUALITYLAND is very funny and very scary - my kind of book. * Mike Judge, creator of Silicon Valley and King of the Hill *
An amusing skewering of the logical consequences of the world’s increasing efficiency and optimisation. * NEW SCIENTIST *
The best kind of satire, offering up a funhouse mirror version of our world that is so smart and so cutting, you have to laugh to keep from crying. * Rob Hart, author of THE WAREHOUSE *
An enjoyable romp through an overwrought capitalist dystopia masquerading as a Utopia. * LITERARY REVIEW *
Satire reminiscent of Douglas Adams or Rob Grant * STARBURST *
This is spot-on satire. * PUBLISHERS WEEKLY *
How much you enjoy this is in direct proportion to how much trouble you think we’re in. Sleep tight. * KIRKUS REVIEWS *
