Literally incredible. * The Age *
A fascinating dive into the world of robotics, and worthy of Dick himself, wherever he may be. * The Bookseller *
This story is touching, absorbing and, ultimately, an exploration of what it means to be human. ... Highly engaging. * The Spectator *
This compelling tale of androids, paranoid authors, and research into AI has a suitably strange twist at the end... an ending that could have been written by Dick himself. * The Guardian *
The story of the head of Philip K. Dick couldn't be a more apt metaphor for the state of humanoid robotics. * New Scientist *
