One of the most original and accomplished science fiction writers working today.
A singular, uncompromising achievement.
A haunting, beautifully written tale of edgelands and edgelives.
Fearsome, tender, witty and weird, The Smoke is a searingly inventive, sumptuously written novel about love and grief in the Yorkshire space age. A masterful vision of another past – or future.
As weird and jittery as a caffeine overdose, and possibly the most heartbreakingly evocative book you will read this year.
Compelling and beautifully realized.
Fulfilling and thought provoking.
An intense meditation on loneliness, capital and cognition.
Simon Ings has created a distinctive world and style that captures the weirdness of what might have been.
