Description
Book SynopsisA gripping near-future thriller from the author of False Hearts.
Trade ReviewI really enjoyed this visceral, streetwise look into a future of custom physiques and hackable minds. The book's dry, cyberpunk sensibilities are balanced by a rich and flawed anti-hero, and intriguing questions about the blurred lines between code and psyche. -- Adrian Walker, author of
End of the World Running ClubI really enjoyed
Shattered Minds . . . a noir cyberpunk thriller along the lines of
Neuromancer -- Neal Asher
In
Shattered Minds Laura Lam combines William Gibson’s noirish cyberpunk vibe with Kim Stanley Robinson’s social concern and world-building to produce a gripping, fast-paced hi-tech thriller peopled by flawed but believable characters . . . The novel works as a tense techno-thriller, as state-of-the-art extrapolative SF, and as a moving exploration of character in which even the bad guys are portrayed with sympathy * Guardian *
A smart, highly-readable cyberpunk thriller . . . Lam is back in this world with confidence and explores Sudice's evil corporate agenda with great wit and relish . . . Lam creates her own damaged heroine who is tragic while still retaining her own agency . . . this is very hard to put down * SciFiNow *
This is a taut page-turner chock-full of thrills * Speculative Herald *
Terrifyingly believable . . . This techno-thriller is fast-paced, thought-provoking ,and even – unexpectedly – romantic * Kirkus Reviews *
The future landscape is vividly drawn {...} I was drawn into the world thoroughly and swept along at a fast pace. Laura Lam is skilled at giving depth and reality to her future world * Crime Review *
