About the Book

A SUNDAY TIMES BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR In a disturbingly familiar parallel world, a small population of tiny, semi-aquatic humans known as lambdas has quietly lived in the capital for decades. When a school bombing is claimed by an unknown faction of their community, everything changes. Meet Cara Gray, anarchist-turned-surveillance officer, who is trialling an application that will render her life as a novel. Experience a world of government agents made of slime mould protein, dubious quantum computers, and sentient toothbrushes.

About the Author :
David Musgrave was born in North East England and now lives in London. He has exhibited widely as a visual artist, and his work is held in many collections worldwide.

Review :
“An accomplished, thought-provoking novel that is also darkly humorous.” "Ever wish George Saunders tried his hand at crime fiction? Try David Musgrave’s imaginative debut novel, Lambda." “Absolutely brilliant. It's like William Gibson and JG Ballard made a baby - a weird semi-aquatic baby. A one-off, properly uncategorizable." "Rife with suspense, intrigue and menace, the story is an allegory for current events that parallels books like Orwell’s 1984 and Animal Farm." “Musgrave uses his tale to provide some affecting commentary on current political, emotional and health crises, as well as the future of technology.” "Literary SF at its best." “A neat idea… a scathing critique of the attitude towards migrants in Brexit Britain.” "Ceaselessly inventive yet grounded in a world we recognise - an eloquent, insightful and funny demonstration the future is now. And always will be." “A science fiction novel not quite like any other I’ve read." “Part cyber-thriller, part sci-fi parable, part glorious social satire.” “Lambda harks back to the utopian preoccupations of early pioneers of the genre like Orwell or Zamiatin, leavening its tale with wry humour and quiet social commentary and satire that scores and hits the target with systematic ferocity… Most definitely a novel of ideas, where the plot insidiously burrows into the reader’s mind to unsettling effect. A fascinating curiosity and well worth the detour.”
