A genre-bending near-future tech nightmare that is as bitingly funny as it is horrifically believable, from the New York Times bestselling author of The Cabin at the End of the World.
'The best anti-Generative AI story horror has produced so far' NPR
'Philip K. Dick would be honoured to read Tremblay's novel' Agustina Bazterrica, Tender Is the Flesh
'Mind-bending' Guardian
'A master of his craft, Tremblay creates a new genre with every book he writes.' Virginia Feito, Victorian Psycho
'Expertly delivers twists and turns in a world that seems all too timely.' Variety
'One of the most terrifying horror writers of his generation.' Joe Hill, King Sorrow
'Horrific, multi-layered and massively meta' SFX
---------------------------------------------------------
Meet Julia Flang, a twenty-something former professional gamer, living with her retired uncle, and working two jobs she doesn't like. Out of the blue, her estranged mother, a CFO for one of the world's largest tech companies, offers her a temp job with a payday Julia can't refuse. One sham interview later, she's offered the job: to chaperone a man in a vegetative state from California to the East Coast. But he's not dead dead: he has an AI mind implanted in his head . . .
Meet a middle-aged man who wakes within a disorienting hellscape filled with monstrous grotesqueries. Worse than the fluid, morphing reality in which he's trapped, he has no memory of who he is. He certainly doesn't remember getting the rabbit tattoo on his arm. He only knows that he must find a certain person.
Who? He can't remember.
Dead but Dreaming of Electric Sheep is a heady, terrifying genre-bender from one of the most groundbreaking voices in fiction today, exploring the 'I' in AI.
PRAISE
'Mind-bending . . . Dipping into the darker side of science fiction, this is a chilling story that imagines a brain implant allowing the dead to walk . . . and the person hired to control them.' Guardian
'Innovative, terrifying, and deeply human. An electric and wild skewering of Silicon Valley's takeover of the human mind and body that could only be written by Paul Tremblay.' Sarah Rose Etter, author of Ripe
'Paul Tremblay is on fire, this time with a furious work of science fiction that, chapter by chapter, melts your brain and scours your soul. As entertaining and pop-culture savvy as the novel can be, it's emotionally wrenching and truly scary.' Ed Park, author of Pulitzer Prize finalist Same Bed, Different Dreams and An Oral History of Atlantis
'A master of his craft, Tremblay creates a new genre with every book he writes. This ingenious novel is refreshing, hilarious, teeming with warnings of real horrors to come, and ultimately entirely human. It will be the most stressfully entertaining journey of your year.' Virginia Feito, author of Victorian Psycho and Mrs. March
'In an age of shredded attention spans and never-ending attempts to turn art into 'content,' there's power in seeing an artist make a stand in defense of his principles . . . Readers will find themselves entertained, enraged and satisfied.' The New York Times
'Tremblay has always been an innovator, but this beautifully written collection of real and imagined grotesqueries cements him not only as one of the most original and exciting voices in horror but also one of the smartest, most engaging authors in contemporary fiction.' NPR
'Tremblay expertly delivers twists and turns in a world that seems all too timely.' Variety
'The dangers of emerging tech have never been so chilling and, simultaneously, so strangely delightful.' Booklist (starred review)
'Tremblay throws down the gauntlet for AI horror . . . This masterpiece of storytelling is injected with a squirming worm of fear that forces readers to take a critical look at AI's encroachment. A not-to-miss experience.' Library Journal, starred review
'Tremblay impresses with this trippy sci-fi thriller. . . that deserves applause for its boldness.' Publishers Weekly
'The most ambitious book of Paul Tremblay's career . . . His daring, his boldness, and his ability to mine the unspeakable are on full display, and they work together to deliver one of the year's most unnerving genre books.' Bloody Disgusting
'A smart and darkly humorous novel with an edge and a protagonist who is easy to love.' Book Reporter
'Genius and original, a brainy, referential, slightly hysterical novel that you will grapple with and likely never forget' FanFiAddict
'A bracing satire of high-tech corporate fascism, Tremblay's latest is his best and most ambitious work yet.' Matter News
'Paul Tremblay is one of the most terrifying horror writers of his generation.' Joe Hill, No.1 New York Times bestselling author
