Central Station

Advance Praise for Central Station If you want to know what SF is going to look like in the next decade, this is it. --Gardner Dozois, editor of the bestselling Year's Best Science Fiction series A dazzling tale of complicated politics and even more complicated souls. Beautiful. --Ken Liu, author of The Grace of Kings If Nalo Hopkinson and William Gibson held a seance to channel the spirit of Ray Bradbury, they might be inspired to produce a work as grimy, as gorgeous, and as downright sensual as Central Station. --Peter Watts, author of Blindsight Central Station is masterful: simultaneously spare and sweeping--a perfect combination of emotional sophistication and speculative vision. Tidhar always stuns me. --Kij Johnson, author of At the Mouth of the River of Bees Central Station boasts complexity without complication, sharp prose, and a multi-dimensional world. --Jeffrey Ford, author of The Girl in the Glass Lavie Tidhar weaves the threads of classic and modern science fiction tropes with the skills of a gene surgeon and creates a whole new landscape to portray a future both familiar and unsettling. A unique marriage of Philip K. Dick, William Gibson, C. L. Moore, China Mieville, and Larry Niven with 50 degrees of compassion and the bizarre added. An irresistible cocktail. --Maxim Jakubowski, author of the Sunday Times bestselling Vina Jackson novels Like all good science fiction, the linked stories of Central Station are really about the here and now we live in. Most urgently, they are about just who 'we' might be, here on this overcrowded, contested, Anthropocene world that we all must share. Lavie Tidhar writes in generous detail and expansive vision of a New, and old Jerusalem, and of the many possible 'we's who live there. --Carter Scholz, author of Radiance Tidhar weaves strands of faith and science fiction into a breathtaking and lush family history of the far future. --Max Gladstone, author of Three Parts Dead a standout, absorbing, well realised sci-fi world, with characters who feel like they're about to stroll off the page and take you for a cup of arak. --Sci-Fi and Fantasy Reviews If you're looking for something a little more philosophical and thoughtful than the usual fare in the genre, look no further than this book ... a fantastic read. --Strange Currencies Lavie Tidhar gives enormous depth to the world he creates...
