“Mind-bending and breakneck…Evans does a brilliant job at taking the present day as his jumping-off point and then turning it inside out to create a unique new reality…with each wild new scene, time period, dimension, and big idea, readers will be wowed anew.”
“With the creative dexterity of Charles Stross and the history-bending agility of Neal Stephenson, Evans’ roller-coaster sf debut evokes the spirit of Philip K. Dick and keeps readers guessing to the very end.”
“This book—this book…now this book is truly great, and also really weird … I really had to send out for a new barrel of Wows … Brilliant, incredible, pushing the edges of what SF can do … it just gets wilder and wilder … One of the big books of the year, the kind everyone will be talking about.”
“Mind-blowing… this off-the-rails, generously overstuffed, continuously surprising tale is what you might have gotten if Greg Egan had written The Illuminatus! Trilogy… on a deeper level the book is a consideration of how one should or could live one’s life ethically… beyond the super-science cosmic shenanigans lies a humanist heart.”
“A gripping, wildly ambitious page-turner of the impossible meeting the inevitable, a startup unlocking the secrets of the universe the hard way, a prosaic protagonist picked to pay the price, and the humanity of it all with friends made and lost along his kaleidoscopic tour … Fresh, cool and provocative!”
“Jon has the unique ability to write about artificial intelligence, innovation, Silicon Valley, the military and science fiction in a way that leaves you unable to put this book down, both highly readable and excessively weird. A fun, fun, thought-expanding read.”
“There are going to be hundreds of AGI fiction books coming out … Exadelic very quickly goes off the standard script in some fun ways!”
“Fuses awe at the scope and complexity of the cosmos with a specifically science fictional sense of wonder … It’s not just that it aims high, but the more you read it, the more you realize it’s always aiming higher than you think.”
“Adrian Ross finds himself dragged out of his home one morning by the police and propelled into the center of a rapidly unfolding adventure that plays out across time and space, unlocking the secrets of the universe … an action-packed thriller.”
“Silicon Valley’s ‘Ready Player One’ … a twisty book rooted deeply in today’s technological and ethical zeitgeist … a great book to take with you to a flight or beach … Exadelic is a fun ride.”
