—Jesse Kellerman, internationally bestselling author of Trouble

“A brilliantly disturbing tale of deceit, and the tangled griefs of murder and conspiracy that haunt a virtual world. Thomas Sweterlitsch writes with deft and uncanny prescience about a future that seems all-too-likely. A must-read for lovers of tech noir.”

— Yangsze Choo, internationally bestselling author of The Ghost Bride

Tomorrow & Tomorrow is weird, hypnotic, and lovely. Sweterlitsch’s future is close enough to be plausible, and strange enough to be fascinating.”

— Django Wexler, author of The Thousand Names

“A mesmerizing, genre-mixing sci-fi, noir mystery that inhabits its influences rather than merely wearing them knowingly on its sleeve. I could not put it down.”

—Wayne Gladstone, author of Notes from the Internet Apocalypse
