A new debut from South Africa – Lauren Beukes‘ Moxyland has been described as "an ultra-smart thriller about technological progress, and the freedoms it removes. In the near future, four hip young things live in a world where your online identity is at least as important as your physical one. Getting disconnected is a punishment worse than imprisonment, but someone’s got to stand up to government inc., whatever the cost. A stunning first novel from critically acclaimed South African author Lauren Beukes, Moxyland takes its cues from Cory Doctorow and Charles Stross… and kicks their ass."
Published by HarperCollins’ new SF imprint, Angry Robot, with a free sample offered for download from the publishers.
