'This is another marvel from a perennially innovative author. . . This dazzling near-future mystery from Hugo winner Liu sparkles with suspense, intensity, and effortless worldbuilding… The trail of clues is long, dangerous, and littered with red herrings…. This is another marvel from a perennially innovative author.'

Publishers Weekly, starred review

'All That We See or Seem is a heart-pounding sci-fi thriller that questions the nature of both science and artistry. And again Ken Liu has me wanting to delete my social media and quit the internet forever, which just goes to show how effectively he highlights the dangers of a possible AI-driven future.'

Daily Mail

'Liu has created an amazing and immersive near-future world, which makes AI feel so commonplace and real that it brings to mind what William Gibson's Neuromancer did to make the internet seem possible.'

Library Journal

'Liu begins a series reminiscent of Thomas Perry's Jane Whitefield books, with superb characterizations and intense pacing. Readers will root for Julia as she is drawn into a dangerous game in this gripping SF thriller.'
