The Warehouse is an inventive, addictive, Crichton-esque, page-turning, near-future dystopian thriller about a corporation ruling over every aspect of our late-capitalism lives
Paul Tremblay, author of A Head Full of Ghosts and The Cabin at the End of the World
"On the surface, The Warehouse is a thrilling story of corporate espionage at the highest level, but dig a little deeper, and you’ll find a terrifying cautionary tale of the nightmare world we are making for ourselves—where our reliance upon e-commerce giants is turning them into malevolent entities more powerful than government."
Blake Crouch, New York Times bestselling author of Dark Matter
"I loved The Warehouse, although and because it made my blood run cold. The world Rob Hart creates is what our world could be by this time next year. Watching these oh so human characters try to cope, even thrive, in their new normal makes one alternately hopeful and despairing. Bravo!"
SJ Rozan, author of Ghost Hero
An absolute thriller. Using wit, insight and masterful story-telling, Rob Hart has written a riveting tale that reflects on the state of humanity and where we might be heading. Be prepared for the unexpected and to look at our world through a new, twisted lens.
Ashlee Vance, New York Times bestselling author of Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future
Fast-paced and unputdownable, thrilling and ominous, The Warehouse is a terrifying object lesson of a story that will haunt you each time you see a box on the front step--and make you wonder what color your shirt will be, one day.
Delilah S. Dawson, New York Times bestselling author of Star Wars: Phasma
A convincing, horrifying post-Orwellian future … brilliantly imagined
BBC Culture US
The Warehouse raises questions about how much power and control we should allow one company to have. When a hugely profitable business says their aim is to build a better world, should we take them at their word?
BBC Science Focus
Featuring an explosive twist-in-the-tail climax, this terrifying hybrid of Orwell’s Nineteen-Eighty-Four and Zamyatin’s We is a triumph
Guardian
A gripping read, a literary blockbuster with brains
Observer
Detailed worldbuilding makes this one feel nightmarish and all too real, but the thrilling plot keeps you turning pages anyway…A creepy dystopian thriller from Rob Hart that might be one of the breakout books of the year.
Barnes & Noble
Rob Hart’s "The Warehouse" conjures a warped but recognizable near-future America that nails the dystopia-as-utopia aspect of our worst nightmares. Like the best dystopian fiction, "The Warehouse" holds up a dark mirror to our times.
San Francisco Chronicle
A thriller of ideas, and its interplay of taut action and incisive cultural commentary gives it shades of Fahrenheit 451 and Jurassic Park ... When [it] lives in this dissonance between good intentions and corporate desolation, it really shines
USA Today
A thrilling, thought provoking read … almost more fact than fiction
Daily Express
A dark satire … The Warehouse fires an exhilaratingly unsubtle broadside against a world where the wage gap is becoming a yawning chasm
Financial Times
A scathing, near-future satire
FT, Books of the Year
Incredible … one of my reads of the year
