Book Synopsis

‘She belongs to me – property rights would prevail.’

Evie is a near-perfect bioengineered human. In a broken-down future England where her kind has been outlawed, her ‘husband’ Matthew keeps her safe but hidden. When her existence is revealed, she must take her chances on the dark and hostile streets where more than one predator is on the hunt.



Trade Review

Written with flair and humanity... mesmerising.

* The Times *

‘Not since Philip K. Dick’s Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep have I felt so strongly about where artificial intelligence might lead us. Highly recommended.’


‘Consistently engaging, fast-moving and surprising, The Actuality gives familiar science fiction themes a fresh and compassionate look, and makes of them something new.’


The Actuality is smart, literary science fiction.

* Infinite Speculation *

The Actuality offers a rich contemplation of ethical and philosophical questions about artificial life and intelligence.
