FINANCIAL TIMES' BEST SCIENCE FICTION BOOKS OF 2024.

A near-future biopunk thriller, EXTREMOPHILE is the mutant lovechild of Neuromancer and The Water Knife, armed with an A to Z and a mixtape.

Rezensionen

A radical, explosive story full of wild hope and venomous rage. Its near future apocalypse is not just prescient and subversive, but full of life, love and thrill in a way that makes it only breaths away from the world we are now. Its voice is challenging, unrelenting, and veering between heartbreak and humour. I feel like this book was written for me, specifically, but I know it's for us. All of us. With its queer community, found family, the dilemmas of resistance and the agony of survival, Extremophile was a song to my soul and a punch in the gut. Read it.
