* The Times *

‘Not since Philip K. Dick’s Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep have I felt so strongly about where artificial intelligence might lead us. Highly recommended.’


‘Consistently engaging, fast-moving and surprising, The Actuality gives familiar science fiction themes a fresh and compassionate look, and makes of them something new.’


The Actuality is smart, literary science fiction.

* Infinite Speculation *

The Actuality offers a rich contemplation of ethical and philosophical questions about artificial life and intelligence.

* BBC Culture *

Paul Braddon grew up in Surrey and lives London with his wife Mary and son Thomas. He has a degree in English Literature and Language from Reading University. The Actuality is his debut novel.
