Praise
“Norman Spinrad, one of the sacred heroes of my coming-of-age as a
writer, has never quit redefining his role as dissident and sage,
inviting the bullies of the present moment outside for a throwdown, and
somehow also conjuring possible futures despite all the odds against
those—he’s that most miraculous of creatures, a Utopianist’s
Dystopianist.“
—Jonathan Lethem
“Spinrad is without a doubt one of the best contemporary American
novelists. Endowed with an acuity as terrifying as it is pertinent.“
—Rolling Stone
“Norman Spinrad, like his characters, takes great risks; the rewards for readers willing to meet him halfway are commensurate.“
—New York Times Book Review
“Norman Spinrad is a hip, worldly, high-tech Nostradamus whose
engaging predictions are occurring on CNN as you turn his pages.“
—Timothy Leary
“Norman Spinrad has a rich and passionate imagination. At once subtle
and humane, he’s a very fine writer indeed, working at the peak of his
gifts.“
—Greg Bear
