"A thoughtful choice for those who enjoy genre-bending, boundary-pushing sf."&ndash; Library JournalPRAISE FOR MADELINE ASHBY&ldquo;vN&#160;is a clever book with a wonderful ending by a writer who is well versed in AI technology, who can evoke sympathy with a few well-turned phrases and tells a satisfyingly complex story.&rdquo;&ndash;&#160;The Guardian&ldquo;Ashby intelligently and brutally explores the way people are willing to abuse, devalue and destroy any form of consciousness they&rsquo;re able to define as &lsquo;other&rsquo;, while the robots challenge the limits of love, devotion and life after death.&rdquo;&ndash;&#160;Toronto Globe & Mail"vN&#160;is a strikingly fresh work of mind-expanding science fiction."&#160;&ndash;&#160;Charlie Jane Anders, IO9.com&ldquo;The world that Ashby envisions is fascinating, filled with strange ideas, nifty technology, and some rather mature implications.&rdquo;&ndash;&#160;Tor.com"It&rsquo;s perfect that this is coming out from Angry Robot, because these are some pretty angry robots."&ndash;&#160;Amazing Stories&#160;&ldquo;vN is&#160;a strikingly fresh work of mind-expanding science fiction.&rdquo;&ndash; IO9.com&ldquo;vN&#160;fuses cyberpunk with urban fantasy to produce something wholly new.&#160;There&rsquo;s a heavy kicker in every chapter. Zombie robots, vampire robots,&#160;robots as strange and gnarly as human beings. A page-turning treat.&rdquo;&ndash; Rudy Rucker, author of the&#160;Ware Tetralogy&ldquo;With an excellent grasp of her subject matter and much to say within the genre, Ashby looks set to become one of the most important new voices in this particular branch of SF, and I for one shall be awaiting her next book with great interest. Download to your system at the earliest opportunity.&rdquo;&ndash; The British Fantasy Society&ldquo;vN&#160;is a striking debut, one part tech thriller and one part adult fairy story &hellip; The best sci-fi not only entertains but also educates and informs, and&#160;vN&#160;manages all three effortlessly.&rdquo;&ndash; The Eloquent Page&ldquo;vN is an excellent book, carefully thought out, in a world that could be our future with only a few technological breakthroughs. The plot is believable and gripping, with a surprising ending. It was impossible to put down.&rdquo;&ndash; The Geek Syndicate

'Finally, a brilliantly written, accessible, and accurate synthesis on one of science's biggest taboos: the study of consciousness. There is no topic avoided by Trevor Harley: animal versus machine consciousness, coma, psychedelics, meditation, our sense of self, even psychism, are all covered. It is the authoritative text all students and researchers have been waiting for.' Steven Laureys, University Hospital of Liège

"...a superbly designed and illustrated accompanying book..." &mdash;DESIGN OBSERVER"Edward McKnight Kauffer (1890 &ndash; 1954) was an American visual artist and designer who was a veritable giant of poster design in the &rsquo;20s and &rsquo;30s. He spent a lot of time in the United Kingdom, and is perhaps best known for the treasure trove of iconic work he created during his time there. The &ldquo;poster king&rdquo; created eye-catching artwork for the likes of the London Underground, Random House, the Great Western Railway, and American Airlines. He also created Allied propaganda posters during WWII. E. McKnight Kauffer: The Artist In Advertising, fresh out from Rizzoli Electa, in association with Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum, takes a thorough look at his eclectic poster work as well as his theater stages, book covers, costumes, and even rugs. The inventive designer called upon avant-garde artistic movements like Surrealism, Cubism, Impressionism, and Vorticism to inform his ground-breaking work, which seems diverse in style and technique, and is perhaps hard to pin down to any particular signature style as a result. This impressive new hardcover monograph compliments an upcoming exhibition at Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum on McKnight&rsquo;s catalog. The layout of the book seems to pay tribute to Kauffer&rsquo;s unorthodox and modern work with its own unusual layout, something I think works tremendously well here. With over 300 color illustrations, an in-depth storytelling, you get a very strong sense of the somewhat dizzying breadth and scope of the poster king&rsquo;s virtuosic output." &mdash;&#160;TYPO-GRAPHICAL.COM
