Nominated for a Hugo for Best Novel in 2007

"Blindsight is a tour de force, redefining the First Contact story for good. Peter Watts' aliens are neither humans in funny make-up nor incomprehensible monoliths beyond human comprehension - they're something new and infinitely more disturbing, forcing us to confront unpalatable possibilities about the nature of consciousness. It'll make your skin crawl when you stop to think about it. Strongly recommended: this may be the best hard SF read of 2006."

- Charles Stross

Overclocked is a reminder that we can't hope to keep up and shouldn’t bother. But we do need to keep alert, to keep ourselves caffeinated, to run as fast as we can - if we hope to stay in the same place. Getting ahead? That's, alas, a thing of the past. -- Rick Kleffel, NPR

"Cory Doctorow is just far enough ahead of the game to give you that authentic chill of the future, and close enough to home for us to know that he's talking about where we live as well as where we're going to live; a connected world full of disconnected people. One of whom is about to lobotomise himself through the nostril with a pencil. Funny as hell and sharp as steel." -- Warren Ellis, Author of Transmetropolitan

"Utterly contemporary and deeply peculiar -- a hard combination to beat (or, these days, to find)." -- William Gibson, Author of Neuromancer
