“With Lady of Mazes, Schroeder gives us another novel of marvelous insight — brightest glimpses of where our technology of communication and computation may be taking us.” —Vernor Vinge

“A complete original. . . it’s the most thought-provoking and interesting work of hard SF that I’ve read in the past year, and it deserves to be recognized as belonging to the cutting edge of the new far future in SF.” —Charles Stross

“Lady of Mazes is Clarke’s The City And The Stars re-imagined for a new century. This is hard SF at its best. . . Schroeder belongs to a dynasty that includes Benford, Vinge and Egan. Read this book and reboot your dreams — and your nightmares.” —Stephen Baxter

“An astonishing saga. One helluva read!” —Charles Harness

“Karl Schroeder has always had a knack for intelligent and provocative thought experiments, disguised as space opera. Now he ups the ante with a fascinating riff on consensual (and conflicting) realities. Lady of Mazes contains more cool ideas than Ventus and Permanence combined.” —Peter Watts
