drunk on all your strange new words by eddie robson

“The book packs in oodles of dry wit and droll self-mockery, the sort of profound and lacerating laughter that Robson's countrymen Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett perfected.” -NPR on Hearts of Oak thoughtful, fast-paced sci-fi.” - Publishers Weekly “A memorable exploration of the power of language and technology in a post first-contact world. “The truth in this story is both far simpler and far more interesting than the many lies people would like to believe, and Lydia is just the right kind of inquisitive character to keep the narrative entertaining.” - Booklist “ Drunk on all Your Strange New Words is a twisted murder investigation through a post-contact future full of world-building in fascinating detail.” -Django Wexler “A hell of a lot of fun for fans of locked room mysteries and near future sci-fi.” -Gareth L. Read him now before you have to start lying about having done so.” -Paul Cornell “Eddie Robson is an exciting new fixture in British SFF, with a perspective that's charming, humane and witty. And, in some cases, without any filters at all.” - iO9 As Robson develops the mystery, honing in on the whodunnit at the center of the book, he also expands outwards, translating small truths about our own world through Lydia’s filters. “With a darkly tongue-in-cheek comedy and soft science-fiction premise, Drunk on All Your Strange New Words is a conspiracy theory gift wrapped up as an exploration of our own culture’s obsession with ourselves. “Perfect for anyone looking for a fun, thought-provoking and unintimidating foray into sci-fi, this book will have readers smiling on every page, drunk on Robson’s clever words.” - BookPage The RUSA Science Fiction Novel of the Year!Ī Goodreads Most Anticipated Summer Read!
