A Stranger in the Citadel (2023)
Tobias S Buckell
"Buckell's writing always satisfies, and A Stranger in the Citadel brings it: tense, explosive oh-my-god-what-will-they-do-now action; appealing characters you care about, even when you deplore what they do; rich, surprising worldbuilding; a fascinating story of words and the people who guard them. Gotta love hero librarians, especially in times like these. Gotta love clever metatextual references. Gotta love the youth-dem determined to fix the world, naivete be damned."

The Freeze-Frame Revolution (2018)
Peter Watts
"Watts displays a gleefully macabre inventiveness combined with scientific rigour."

The Liminal People (2011)
(Liminal People, book 1)
Ayize Jama-Everett
"The world won't ever look quite the same again."
