Recensioner i media

A Wall Street Journal Best Book of 2018‘Gripping, provoking and elegantly written, this interlocking suite of stories explores the implications of genetic modification on our destiny. There's something of Ursula Le Guin in its calm, intelligent examination of human nature's impact on technology, politics and religion. An there's a twist at the end worthy of H.G. Wells.’Daily Mail‘Powerful, poignant, and action-packed’Bustle‘A work of unforgettable vision and imagination. This book is everything I love about science fiction’Jay Kristoff, New York Times bestselling author‘A deep and suddenly necessary exploration of the beautiful and terrible futures we face. Every story leaves you desperate for more. Somehow, the further from today Dayton travels, the more real it becomes’Hank Green‘Haunting, challenging and provocative — this is an extraordinary book. I can't can’t stop thinking about it’Amie Kaufman, New York Times bestselling co-author of the Illuminae Files
