Description: "Uncommonly sharp." --Kirkus Reviews (starred) on Learning the World "Compelling!" --Entertainment Weekly on Learning the World "Highly entertaining." -- Locus on Learning the World "Ken MacLeod's novels are fast, funny and sophisticated. There can never be enough books like these." --Kim Stanley Robinson "Far more fun than deep space drama has any right to be...Just read the book. Then read it again. It's even better the second time." -- SFX on Newton 's Wake "MacLeod's inventiveness, verbal playfulness, and bloody-minded irony never flag for a moment." -- Locus on Engine City "Ken MacLeod doesn't just create believable futures--he breaks them down to explain what makes them tick." -- Wired "Stylish, witty, and engaging!" -- San Diego Union Tribune on Newton 's Wake "Science fiction's freshest new writer...MacLeod is a fiercely intelligent, prodigously well-read author who manages to fill his books with big issues without weighing them down." -- Salon "Ken MacLeod brings dramatic life to some of the core issues of technology and humanity." --Vernor Vinge "For my money, Ken MacLeod is the current champion of the very smartest kind of New Space Opera: a relentlessly engaged thinker about nitty-gritty political-economic-social matters who also operates on the Romantic end of the genre by imagining worlds that offer vast (and even godlike) possibilities for humankind." -- Locus
