“Completely delightful…Neither utopian nor dystopian, it portrays life in SoCal in a future woven from our successes (Green New Deal!), failures (climate chaos anyway), and unresolved conflicts (old MAGA dudes). I loved it.”
— Rebecca Solnit, author of Men Explain Things To Me and A Paradise Built In Hell

“This book looks like our future and feels like our present—it’s an unforgettable vision of what could be.”—Kim Stanley Robinson

“Sometimes I think that Cory Doctorow is the last real optimist and idealist left in science fiction” – Locus

“[The Lost Cause] tells a thought-provoking story, with a message of hope in a near-future that looks increasingly bleak.”–Library Journal, starred review
