Review

Nineteen Eighty-Four meets Vonnegutian slapstick in a free-wheeling satire spliced with black humour and some gloriously wicked social commentary. ? GUARDIAN

This brave new world is revealed in a series of pin-sharp, unsettling and scathing vignettes... Brilliant satire and a great read that is currently in production as an HBO TV series. ? DAILY MAIL

As the carrier for a slew of satirical ideas about the state of our internet-enabled society, Marc-Uwe Kling's international bestseller is full of zing from first page to last... a dystopian comic yarn comparable to Black Mirror, Kurt Vonnegut or Philip K Dick ? THE TIMES

QUALITYLAND is very funny and very scary - my kind of book. ? Mike Judge, creator of Silicon Valley and King of the Hill

An amusing skewering of the logical consequences of the world's increasing efficiency and optimisation. ? NEW SCIENTIST

The best kind of satire, offering up a funhouse mirror version of our world that is so smart and so cutting, you have to laugh to keep from crying. ? Rob Hart, author of THE WAREHOUSE

An enjoyable romp through an overwrought capitalist dystopia masquerading as a Utopia. ? LITERARY REVIEW

Satire reminiscent of Douglas Adams or Rob Grant ? STARBURST

This is spot-on satire. ? PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

How much you enjoy this is in direct proportion to how much trouble you think we're in. Sleep tight. ? KIRKUS REVIEWS
