Dead But Dreaming of Electric Sheep
A genre-bending near-future tech nightmare that is as bitingly funny as it is horrifically believable, from theĀ New York TimesĀ bestselling author ofĀ The Cabin at the End of the World.
Meet Julia Flang, a twenty-something former professional gamer, living with her retired uncle, and working two jobs she doesn't like. Out of the blue, her estranged mother, a CFO for one of the world's largest tech companies, offers her a temp job with a payday Julia can't refuse. One sham interview later, she's offered the job: to chaperone a man in a vegetative state from California to the East Coast. But he's notĀ deadĀ dead: he has an AI mind implanted in his head.
Meet a middle-aged man who wakes within a disorienting hellscape filled with monstrous grotesqueries. Worse than the fluid, morphing reality in which he's trapped, he has no memory of who he is. He certainly doesn't remember getting the rabbit tattoo on his arm. He only knows that he must find a certain person.
Who? He can't remember.
Dead but Dreaming of Electric SheepĀ is a heady, terrifying genre-bender from one of the most groundbreaking voices in fiction today, exploring the 'I' in AI.
Praise for Dead but Dreaming of Electric Sheep
'Philip K. Dick would be honored to read Tremblay's novel, which, with its hypnotic prose, compels us to confront our existential horror even as it makes us laugh, excites us, moves us, and yes, makes us shudder a lot' - Agustina Bazterrica, the international best-selling author ofĀ Tender Is the Flesh
'A master of his craft, Tremblay creates a new genre with every book he writes. This ingenious novel is refreshing, hilarious, teeming with warnings of real horrors to come, and ultimately entirely human. It will be the most stressfully entertaining journey of your year' - Virginia Feito, author ofĀ Victorian Psycho
'Innovative, terrifying, and deeply human. An electric and wild skewering of Silicon Valley's takeover of the human mind and body that could only be written by Paul Tremblay.Ā Dead But Dreaming of Electric SheepĀ will keep you up at night' - Sarah Rose Etter, author ofĀ Ripe
