'... a treat for jaded palates, executed with sustained energy ... it has an intelligent self-confidence and everyone should read it.' The Bookseller
'A sharp, edgy book that deals with another kind of virtual reality...This is a savage and ultimately moving satire with strong language which is definitely not for the feelgood market, but which challenges the reader to think about the way we are manipulated by mass culture.' The Observer
'This novel will make you want to pull out the plugs and head for the hills while you still can […] Brilliantly, this book brings the future and its lingo right into our heads, the old-fashioned way, and reminds us to cherish the reality we are lucky enough to still have.' The Independent
