Praise for Stealing Worlds
“Lesser writers use technology as a metaphor; Schroeder is a master of rigor in technological speculation. Part prophet, part critic, Schroeder is a hell of a storyteller.”—Cory Doctorow
“Karl Schroeder seizes cyberpunk traditions and larps them into the onrushing era of blockchains, sentient contracts and rapid-paced convulsions of reality!”—David Brin, author of The Postman and Existence.
“This is a vivid exploration of what the coming decades might really be like, combining several major contemporary forces for change, like AI and climate change and online gaming, in a startling new vision. Add a tense plot and engaging characters, and the result is science fiction at its best.”—Kim Stanley Robinson, Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author of New York: 2140
Praise for Lockstep
“It is easily the most invigorating, most scientifically curious book I’ve ever read that’s written in a way that both young people and adults can enjoy it. It’s a book that will make everyone who reads it smarter.”—Cory Doctorow, author of Walk Away
“There’s a gee-whiz wonderment quality to the Lockstep that’s infectious. It’s also incredibly gratifying to find such a universe.” —iO9
“Schroeder consistently has fascinating science fictional ideas and manages to make them into unputdownable stories with real characters.”—Jo Walton
“Schroeder brilliantly explores what hibernation might give—and take from—humanity. Sure, we’ll get the stars. But who controls when you’ll wake up?”—David Brin
