Description

Life sucks and then you die... a cyberpunk family drama from the ingenious author of Flex. In the near future, the elderly have moved online and now live within the computer network. But that doesn't stop them interfering in the lives of the living, whose sole real purpose now is to maintain the vast servers which support digital Heaven. For one orphan that just isn't enough - he wants more for himself and his sister than a life slaving away for the dead. It turns out that he's not the only one who wants to reset the world...

Reviews

Steinmetz has crafted a brilliant, original world in this all-too-possible story of life, death, and legacy. The Uploaded is a wild ride from start to finish, and asks the reader to examine what exactly it is that they are leaving behind and what theyre headed toward.
Sarah Gailey

Witty, funny, thought provoking, plausible in its outrageousness, utterly indefatigable, revelatory and a bunch of other positive adjectives, oh and poignant.
Koeurs Book Reviews

A very engaging book. 4.5 hoots!
Purple Owl Reviews

Ive said it before and Ill say it again: this guy should be a super-bestseller. Theres no good excuse why he isnt. Im a total fanboy because hes 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 Steinmetzs back catalogue.
Moon Magister Reviews

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 mankinds 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 Ive 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

In the grand tradition of thoughtful future science fiction that comments on our present, its as pointed a social satire as youre likely to find this side of the Upterlife.
Barnes & Noble Sci-Fi & Fantasy Blog

A very unique concept and a well written science fiction thriller.
Caitstiels 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

Its over-the-top. Its funny, moving, tragic, and eventually triumphant, though at high cost for all the characters. Its cleverly and skilfully written.
