“Spanning multiple points of view, writing styles and character voices, this masterful work of science fiction weaves its individual stories into a complex and engaging whole.” —S.B. Divya, Nebula Award finalist and author of Runtime“This is fiction playing for the highest stakes – and winning.” —Chandrahas Choudhury, author of Clouds“By turns horror, cyberpunk, and biting social satire, Analog/Virtual is a high velocity anthem sung through the shape of things to come.” —Yudhanjaya Wijeratne, Nebula Award finalist and author of The Inhuman Race“If you ever wondered how Huxley’s Brave New World would look when social media metrics take charge, Lakshminarayan’s Ten Percent Thief gets all the likes and thumbs up for showing us a world no sane person would want to live in. It’s deeply disturbing, but you can’t look away.” —Wayne Santos, author of The Chimera Code“An astonishing, kaleidoscopic journey through the fractured landscape of a future India where cyber-power has created a new system of oppression, this beautifully written novel of imaginative literature serves both as a warning and a source of resurgent hope. Grim, unrelenting, polyphonic and exhilarating.” —Vandana Singh“The Ten Percent Thief delivers hope, wonder, bleakness, humour and wisdom in equal measure, with unforgettable characters telling a multifaceted story of a future revolution. A complex, dazzling debut.” —Samit Basu, author of The Jinn-Bot of Shantiport“Immersive and skillfully wrought; a fascinating kaleidoscope of near-future dystopian fiction” —Stark Holborn“As satisfying as it is clever.” —Publishers Weekly“A sparkling debut.” —Aubrey Wood, Lambda Literary Award-nominated author of Bang Bang Bodhisattva“Playful and crushing in equal measure.” —FanFiAddict“A new masterpiece.” —SciFiNow“Lakshminarayan uses her novel to flawlessly confront constructed binaries built into the very fabric of contemporary society.” —The Fantasy Hive“The Ten Percent Thief is bold and creative, and Lakshminarayan expertly packages a warning that will only get more relevant with time.” —STARBURST Magazine“This is, punk-like, a collection of rebellions against, and reconsiderations of, the status quo. One of my favourite books of recent years.” —Jared Shurin, Raptor Velocity“Impressive.” —SFX“Stunning and thought-provoking.” —The British Fantasy Society“Smart, vivid, engaging.” —The Guardian“Lavanya Lakshminarayan breathes new life into dystopia.” —The Washington Post“Deeply thought-provoking and timely.” —Grimdark Magazine“The Ten Percent Thief is really terrific; I loved it.” – Dave Hutchinson“Biting… a dystopian kaleidoscope, hideous and true.” —Esquire
