“Digital where Brave New World is merely analog, Blueprints of the Afterlife makes both 1984 and the Book of Revelation seem like yesterday’s news.”—Tom Robbins, author of Even Cowgirls Get the Blues

“Duct-tape yourself to the front of this roller coaster and enjoy the ride. . . . Mr. Boudinot dazzles, goofs around and sends the plot curving in on itself. . . . Under it all is a fierce literary imagination, building the kinds of worlds that William Gibson used to write before he discovered the present; it is warmed by the kind of offbeat, riffing humor that has suffused the works of Neal Stephenson and Gary Shteyngart, with Chuck Palahniuk’s cartoonish gore and Neil Gaiman’s creepy otherworlds blended in. One of those, yes. But utterly its own thing. “—John Schwartz, The New York Times
