Description



About the Book



"Using the myth of Eurydice as a structure, this riveting science fiction novel is set in a near-future London where it has become popular for folks to have a small implant that allows one access to a more robust social media experience directly as an augmented reality. However, the British government has taken oversight of this access to an extreme, slowly tilting towards a dystopian overreach, all in the name of safety."--

Review Quotes




* "Oh has written a stunning dystopian tale that contemplates the future of augmented reality, and who controls it, through a heartrending love story." -- "-Library Journal, STARRED REVIEW"

* "The plotting is tightly crafted, weaving science fiction, mythology, and more to tell a tale that feels pertinent right now. An emotional tale exploring light and dark and the gray areas in change and progress." - Kirkus, STARRED REVIEW

"...Tension increases in an unnervingly believable struggle for the future. The story of Moremi and Orpheus has classical antecedents but with a satisfying eye for the future." - Booklist

"Dystopian fans will appreciate Oh's incisive and nuanced take on technology's place in society." - Publishers Weekly

"Drawing on ancient Greek myths and modern brain science, this is a plausible, complex vision of the future, a fascinating story that never shies away from the contradictions in human nature." - The Guardian

Named a Most Anticipated Book of 2023 by Apple Books, Men's Health, CrimeReads, Polygon, Goodreads, Gizmodo, and more.

"A beautifully written tale of two people whose love is caught in a battle for the minds of humankind is moving, powerful, and deeply human."-- "-Locus Magazine"

"

The best canonical sci-fi puts the thinnest veil on reality to show us just how close we are to the world we fear. The London you encounter in Temi Oh's More Perfect is grittily familiar - making the near future she paints queasily plausible, including the brain implant that is being forced on citizens and the political chaos this foments. It weaves an intriguing tapestry of references, from the classical story of Eurydice to the neuroscience of consciousness, set against a drumbeat of dread."-- "-New Scientist"
