Proof that literary fiction and science fiction can be one and the same. An intelligent first novel from the winner of the Arthur C. Clarke award, 2013.
Chris Beckett is a former university lecturer and social worker living in Cambridge. He is the winner of the Edge Hill Short Fiction Award, 2009, for The Turing Test, the prestigious Arthur C. Clarke Award, 2013, for Dark Eden and was shortlisted for the British Science Fiction Association Novel of the Year Award for Mother of Eden in 2015 and for Daughter of Eden in 2016.
Beckett examines the interface between human and machine,
rationalism and the religious impulse, with sparse prose and acute
social commentary of a latter-day Orwell
