"Welcome to the 21st Century....Echoes of Bradbury and Orwell, in the service of a crackerjack conspiracy plot; a seductively intriguing work of speculative fiction."―Kirkus

"The leaps of time, identity, and chronology create a dark, chillingly claustrophobic atmosphere."
―Publishers Weekly

"Dickinson has created a bleak future world and spins a plot most appropriate for readers who appreciate ambiguity."
―Booklist
