Tim Maughan recommends
Wrong Way (2023)
Joanne McNeil
"A Ballardian tale of pristine corporate campuses and aspirational product marketing, Wrong Way reveals to us the very human cost of the AI future we've already been sold and makes us question how many lies and absurdities we're willing to accept in order to try to feel like we belong here. Subtle and beautiful, Joanne McNeil's masterful debut is a powerful example of what the contemporary novel can and should be in our endlessly perplexing times."
The Tatami Galaxy (2022)
Tomihiko Morimi
"Tomihiko Morimi's novel of burned out gods and misanthropic students jumping between alternate dimensions as they face their regrets proves to be just as touching and hilarious as the anime series it spawned. A surprisingly timely mash-up of Catcher in the Rye and Russian Doll, The Tatami Galaxy will resonate with anyone that's found themselves too often stuck in looping isolation."
This Weightless World (2021)
Adam Soto
"With This Weightless World--and its use of a classic alien contact story to reveal America's constant struggle with race, class, inequality and mistrust-- Adam Soto proves that he gets what science fiction is really about: it's always the present rather than the far future, and the right here rather than the far away. A fascinating debut."
