The Uploaded

“There are shades of The Hunger Games; a Max Headroom-style stuttering virtual character; a juicy, well-plotted love triangle; and loads of action that takes place in between.”
– SFX Magazine

“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

“Fantastic world-building, it’s rich and detailed and truly draws you in.”
– Morpheus Tales Reviews

“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

“A fantastic, highly imaginative read.”
– Sara Houser

“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

“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

“The world building was great and some of the concepts scarily real. A completely different novel from the author of Flex, The Flux, and Fix (which I highly recommend checking out).”
– Just A Guy Who Like To Read

“Such a lot of fun!”
– Earnestly Eston (YouTube)

“ A book that made me think a lot, which is something I also enjoyed.”
– My Bookish Dream

Praise for Ferrett Steinmetz

“Flex is a real gem – sharp, weird, and wildly innovative. It zigs when you think it’ll zag, then tricks you into screaming when you’re ready to laugh out loud. So drop everything and settle in for the night – because once you open this one, you’re not going anywhere.”
– Cherie Priest, author of Boneshaker, winner of the Locus Award for Best Novel and the PNBA Award, and nominated for a Nebula Award and a Hugo Award.

“Amazing. I have literally never read a book like this. Read this NOW, if only to be forced to turn the page wondering what the hell Steinmetz is going to come up with next.”
– Mur Lafferty, Campbell award-winning “Best New Writer 2013” and author of The Shambling Guide to New York

“Featuring one of the most original magic systems ever devised and a pair of likeable, layered protagonists, Flex is a fast-paced, imaginative, and emotionally engaging adventure. The developing friendships and rapport among the characters are portrayed with sensitivity and avoids cliches, and the magical battle sequences are rigorous and filled with ingenious touches that will make gamers and tax lawyers alike grin with joy.”
– Ken Liu, winner of the Nebula, Hugo, and World Fantasy Awards
