ONE OF THE TIMES 10 BEST SCI-FI BOOKS OF 2021 Neil Sharpsons When the Sparrow Falls illuminates authoritarianism, complicity, and identity in the digital age, in a page turning, darkly-funny, frightening and touching story that recalls Philip K. Dick, John le Carré, and Kurt Vonnegut in equal measure. Life in the Caspian Republic has taught Agent Nikolai South two rules. Trust No One. And work just hard enough not to make enemies. Here, in the last sanctuary for the dying embers of the human race in a world run by artificial intelligence, if you stray from the path--your life is forfeit. But when a Party propagandist is killed--and is discovered as a machine--hes given a new mission: chaperone the widow, Lily, who has arrived to claim her husbands remains. But when South sees that she, the first machine ever allowed into the country, bears an uncanny resemblance to his late wife, hes thrown into a maelstrom of betrayal, murder, and conspiracy that may bring down the Republic for good.Neil Sharpson lives in Dublin with his wife and their two children. Having written for theater since his teens, Neil transitioned to writing novels in 2017, adapting his play The Caspian Sea into When The Sparrow Falls. A huge fan of animation, Neil writes Unshaved Mouse, a comedic review blog mostly focusing on animated film and comic book movies.Book specifications:Dimensions: 204 x 131Author: Neil SharpsonCover type: PaperbackPublishing Year: 2022Publishing Month: 5Pages: 336Language: EnglishPublisher: Tor BooksWeight: 277 g
