As with much science fiction Moxyland gets scarily close to reality, the all to familiar and what might not actually be a million miles away from where we are now. Gritty seems an overused word but that’s what this book is. It’s cool, imaginative, un-nerving and unputdownable. A new author we will follow with great interest and hope you will too.
