Питер Уоттс - The Freeze-Frame Revolution

“ The Freeze-Frame Revolution is a slow-motion rebellion as heart-stopping as any roller coaster ride and will delight readers across the science fiction spectrum. It was a joy to read and I found myself unable to put it down once I got started.”

“Entertaining and provocative, brilliant and ambitious, The Freeze-Frame Revolution is compelling science fiction with heart.”

“Peter Watts is a triple threat: exacting hard science extrapolation, an imagination that runs hot enough to give you contact burns, and a gift for thrusting his characters in situations that will expand the mind while shattering even the most guarded of reader hearts.”

“A new book from crazy genius Watts is always cause for celebration… Watts is one of those writers who gets into your brain and remains lodged there like an angry, sentient tumor.”

“[Watts] asks the questions that the best science fiction writers ask, but that the rest of us may be afraid to answer.”

“Watts displays a gleefully macabre inventiveness combined with scientific rigour.”

“Peter Watts is some precisely engineered hybrid of Lucius Shepard and Gregory Benford, lyrical yet hard-edged, purveyor of sleek surfaces and also the ethical and spiritual contents inside.”

Despite the fact that my publisher, not to mention community standards, insist that the last thousand words cross the line into full-fledged novelhood, I will go to my grave insisting that this is merely a novella.
