Description: "In this poetic, intimate, and visionary tale, Darin Bradley deftly explores what happens when international aid, crowdfunding, and online voyeurism gangs up, in a near future that seems almost too close for comfort." --Berit Ellingsen, author of Not Dark Yet "Totem is a prescient apocalyptic vision of the future where religion, science and exploitation mix against a background of occupation and the threat of terrorism. Bradley's work is a warning, an environmentalist cautionary tale with exquisite world-building." --Tade Thompson, Golden Tentacle award-winning author of Rosewater and Making Wolf "In Totem, Bradley once more brings his fresh vision to dystopia. This lyrical, nuanced portrait of a city forced to run on spectacle will haunt you well after it's over." --Bonnie Jo Stufflebeam, author of Strange Monsters "Incisive, scathing, and smart as hell, Darin Bradley's Totem, like his previous novel Chimpanzee, confronts us with the best and rarest kind of dystopia: that which only gently distorts and extrapolates from our own lived reality, leaving us with a world whose sociopolitical horrors are uncomfortably easy to recognize." --Nicole Kornher-Stace, author of Archivist Wasp "A Canticle for Leibowitz meets The Truman Show meets HOLY CRAP WHAT IS THIS DELICIOUS STUFF!" --Nick Mamatas, author of Sensation and I Am Providence "[TOTEM] is a brilliant, beautiful, challenging, scary novel. It's everything speculative fiction should. be. I cannot recommend it enough." --Jonathan Wood, author of Anti-Hero
