Extremophile

Vivid, visceral and utterly compelling, Extremophile blasts new life into the cyberpunk genre. A heady mash-up of biology, punk, art, activism, hackers, murky morality and ultimately, hope, it had me hooked from the first page to the last. -- Stark Holborn An impassioned, compulsive riot. Imagine an upstart William Gibson setting a thriller amid the punk parties, bio-hack labs and liminal spaces of near-future London. -- Jamie Collinson Extremophile is a pure shot of literary adrenaline - achingly smart, gritty, funny and a hell of a lot of fun. Green’s background in genetic research elevates his portrait of a biohacking-addicted near-future London into a compelling and deeply plausible experience. Viscerally dark but full of hope, with characters who stay with you long after the last page, it’s an explosive joyride through our wildest impulses and darkest fears. Cyberpunk brought thrillingly up to date - absolutely brilliant. -- Molly Flatt A thrilling ride, full of invention and excitement -- Josie Long Absolute dirty-nailed cutting-edge biopunk. A world you can taste like a film of grime on the tongue. Phenomenally imaginative. -- Adrian Tchaikovsky A radical, explosive story full of wild hope and venomous rage. Its near future apocalypse is not just prescient and subversive, but full of life, love and thrill in a way that makes it only breaths away from the world we are now. Its voice is challenging, unrelenting, and veering between heartbreak and humour. I feel like this book was written for me, specifically, but I know it’s for us. All of us. With its queer community, found family, the dilemmas of resistance and the agony of survival, Extremophile was a song to my soul and a punch in the gut. Read it. -- Hannah Kaner
