Science Magazine: “An instantly arresting premise. The book’s prose is crisp and economical, punctuated by sentences sharp enough to do the work of entire paragraphs.” “[C]aptures the absurdity and menace of its world, where innovation and objectification are inseparable.” “The satire feels especially acute at a time when several of today’s tech elites indulge fantasies of societal collapse and selective, pronatalist futures. The humans here are often monstrous in their entitlement, while the so-called monsters are tenderly, recognizably human.”
Excited to see that both PLATFORM DECAY by Martha Wells and TWELVE MONTHS by Jim Butcher are part of this amazing line up of Amazon’s Best Science Fiction Fantasy for 2026!
