Anmeldelser
«A mind-warping futuristic thriller wrapped in a smorgasbord of ideas . . . inventive and entertaining . . . Connect might just be the perfect combination of beach read and literary torchpaper.»
Sunday Business Post (Ireland)
«Connect has all the hallmarks of such futuristic classics as War Of The Worlds and Brave New World, but it is also a strong stand alone novel full of excitement, twists, and turns, and stands shoulder to shoulder with any thriller being published today.»
Galway Advertiser
«A dazzling technothriller . . . propulsive and engrossing»
Guardian
«Connect is so plugged into the technological zeitgeist . . . This is the world we know, several operating systems down the line . . . Instantly convincing . . . It will subtly change the way you see the world.»
Sunday Times
«I found Connect propulsively paced and ingeniously twisting. Gough has written a hyperactive, adrenaline-junkie dystopian thriller that deserves to be made into a belter of a film franchise.»
The Times
«This stimulating tale of a coder and his mum is a hyper-digital thriller . . . a story of family dysfunction plugged into larger questions about reality, evolution and the west’s self-definition as “the good guys”.»
Observer
«An exciting literary thriller with plenty of interesting ideas.»
Mail on Sunday
«Read Connect by the absurdly brilliant Julian Gough, a mind-expanding technothriller with a hotly beating human heart.»
Emma Donoghue
«Connect really is a work of genius. It confronts and explores the nature of humanness and existence in a thrilling, immersive, addictive way, and marks Julian out as a prophet among writers.»
Donal Ryan
«A wonderful novel, a tour de force.»
Joseph O'Connor
«This is a novel of enormous danger and risk . . . It is in the lightness of the writing, the compelling force of the narrative that the author achieves real brilliance. Gough has undoubtedly arrived, as a master storyteller.»
