A novel of scope and ambition... Mills' protagonists treat their absurd bind with absolute seriousness. Farce on the outside, tragedy within: this book is full of horrid laughter * The Times * Playful, romantic and very, very clever. Like Inception for booklovers. Sam Mills packs more ideas into one work of metafiction than most writers would manage in several lifetimes -- Clare Pollard A thrilling and original novel: an existential mystery, a love story, an absurdist quest.... A playful enquiry into ideas about freedom, fate, utopias, dystopias, AI, ethics and where truth might reside in a world of fakes. Richly imagined, wild and wise -- Joanna Kavenna A story about stories, an ingenious genre-tumble through literature, artistic expression, free-will, and how far-how deep-we will go for love. A compulsively readable, dizzyingly inventive novel that is both gloriously immense, and immensely, heart-wrenchingly intimate -- Glen James Brown There are books within books within books in this inventive fantasy with echoes of The Matrix and the works of Susanna Clarke * Mail on Sunday * Dizzying... engaging... There's an audacity to The Watermark * Irish Times *
