"A parable for our times. Patrick Blennerhassett understands it's not technology that's dangerous, but our dependency on it. A harrowing tale, tersely told." - Will Ferguson, Giller Prize winning author of 419

"I'm sitting in an orthodontist's office waiting for my daughter to finish her appointment. I notice there are about two dozen people in the room, more than half of whom are under the spell of one electronic device or another--smartphone, tablet, e-reader, whatever. I swear I could strip naked and dance the Lindy right now and none of them would notice; that's how dependent upon these gadgets we've become. They're not really even gadgets anymore--they're organs. External, perhaps, but just as essential as the others. What would it be like, I wonder, if they suddenly went dead in our hands? What if the Internet disappeared . . . and text messaging . . . and email . . . and every other cyberaddiction we've developed? Here's the thing--we don't have to imagine any of it, because Patrick Blennerhassett has done it for us in The Fatalists. In today's hopelessly digital world, this is a harrowing scenario we all need to consider--because it's not as far-fetched as we like to believe." - Wil Mara, author of The Gemini Virus

"A clipped, fast-paced post-apocalyptic cerebral thriller that strips our reliance on technology, replacing it with a disillusioned young man's struggle to survive against the breakdown of society, a ruthless corrupt cop, and his own profane but tough father. A page-turner I consumed in two sittings. Fans of The Road might really enjoy this." - Sever Bronny, Amazon best-selling author of The Arinthian Line

"The Fatalists is a highly imaginative thriller that amps up the tension from page one. After tearing through this one-stop read you'll never look at technology--or people--the same way again. Don't miss this one." - Douglas Corleone, author of Robert Ludlum's The Janson Equation and Good as Gone
