Reviews

Like the best futurist fiction, Pepers Analog trilogy leaves you both satisfied and unsatisfied, content with a story that ends well, but asking questions about how we can go from our current informational wild west to something democratic, something we all have a say in, thats for all of us and not solely built to generate shareholder value. These are big questions, and its good that the final pages of Breach leave us asking them. ZDNet We must turn to fiction like the Analog Novels to see what the future could look like, what it could hold in store for us and what we could do to ensure its a good one. Read Eliot Pepers Breach while its still fiction. FactorDaily Im obsessed with Emily Kim. Shes this powerful, super-intelligent woman who has used her skills and her presence to grow a silent empire, only to have it all pulled out from under her. Theres always so much at stake in this near-future world. Reviews & Robots The Analog series from Eliot Peper is simply terrific science fiction from the (very) near futureI loved all three. Seth Godin, bestselling author and entrepreneur In Breach, Eliot Peper has once again accomplished the extraordinary, at once rendering our own world more searingly visible through the carefully articulated use of an imaginary future, and producing an entirely plausible fictional universe with its own logics, rules, and legends. Deeply plotted and bracingly narrated, Breach is at once a joy to read, a puzzle to consider, and a cultural mystery to solve. Pepers fiction is the medicine we need.
