Steinmetz has crafted a brilliant, original world in this all-too-possible story of life, death, and legacy. The Uploaded is a wild ride from start to finish, and asks the reader to examine what exactly it is that they are leaving behind - and what they're headed toward. -Sarah Gailey Witty, funny, thought provoking, plausible in its outrageousness, utterly indefatigable, revelatory and a bunch of other positive adjectives, oh and poignant. -Koeur's Book Reviews A very engaging book. 4.5 hoots! -Purple Owl Reviews I've said it before and I'll say it again: this guy should be a super-bestseller. There's no good excuse why he isn't. I'm a total fanboy because he's just got the writing chops to pull just about anything off. -Brad K Horner A great standalone with exceptional world building. Books like this are why I read science fiction: huge ethical questions, dark not entirely unfamiliar worlds and massive concepts. A great book, and definitely one that will have me searching out Steinmetz's back catalogue. -Moon Magister Reviews One wild ride. -Books, Bones & Buffy If you enjoy dystopian science fiction reads with plenty of action, then I recommend this one. -Brainfluff Steinmetz is a clever writer indeed. He has hidden an examination of one of mankind's biggest questions (what happens when you die?) in a novel filled with plenty of action, snarky characters, and a lovable pony sidekick. -Speculative Chic I pretty much love everything I've read from Ferrett Steinmetz, and The Uploaded is no exception. -Pop Culture Beast A great standalone with exceptional world building. Books like this are why I read science fiction: huge ethical questions, dark not entirely unfamiliar worlds and massive concepts. -Lord Belatiel In the grand tradition of thoughtful future science fiction that comments on our present, it's as pointed a social satire as you're likely to find this side of the Upterlife. -Barnes & Noble Sci-Fi & Fantasy Blog A very unique concept and a well written science fiction thriller. -Caitstiel's Book World It has a really interesting idea behind it and world and characters are fun. So give it a try. -Being a CFO 4 out of 5 stars -The Artolater It's over-the-top. It's funny, moving, tragic, and eventually triumphant, though at high cost for all the characters. It's cleverly and skilfully written. -The Review Curmudgeon
