Moxyland

The gripping novel from the author of Apple TV’s Shining Girls





A frighteningly persuasive, high-tech fable set in a dystopian near-future

In the near future, Kendra, an art-school dropout, Lerato, an ambitious AIDS baby, Tendek, a hot-headed activist, and Toby, a roguish blogger, live in a world where your online identity is at least as important as your physical one. Getting disconnected is a punishment worse than imprisonment. But someone's got to stand up to government inc., whatever the cost.

Praise for Moxyland

Moxyland does lots of things, masterfully, that lots of SF never even guesses that it could be doing

William Gibson, author of, Neuromancer

Beukes delivers a thrill ride that gleefully merges narrative styles and tropes, almost single-handedly pulling the 'urban fantasy' sub-genre back towards its ground breakingroots
