Description: " Gnomon is an extraordinary novel, and one I can't stop thinking about some weeks after I read it. It is deeply troubling, magnificently strange, and an exhilarating read." --Emily St. John Mandel, author of Station Eleven "Opening a novel by Nick Harkaway feels like stepping into a theme park for the mind--every page you turn brings new delights for the mind and the senses. Gnomon is brilliant and terrifying, full of pleasures big and small. Basically, everything I want in a book." --Charles Yu, author of How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe "The best thing he's ever written. . . It is an astonishing piece of construction, complex and witty. . . It is a magnificent achievement. . . He's never written a bad book, but this is the one that'll see him mentioned in the same breath as William Gibson and David Mitchell. . . This book seriously just destroyed me with joy." --Warren Ellis, author of Gun Machine "This huge sci-fi detective novel of ideas is so eccentric, so audaciously plotted and so completely labyrinthine and bizarre that I had to put it aside more than once to emit Keanu-like 'Whoahs' of appreciation. . . It is huge fun. And it will melt your brain. . . Whoah, indeed. I wanted to give it a round of applause." --Tim Martin, The Spectator (London) "Beguiling, multilayered, sprawling novel that blends elements of Philip K. Dick-tinged sci-fi, mystery, politics, and literary fiction in a most satisfying brew. . . Fans of Pynchon and William Gibson alike will devour this smart, expertly written bit of literary subversion." -- Kirkus (starred review)
