I don’t think I read a better novel last year. A friend who reads a lot of science fiction was trying to educate me on the topic, and this was the first book on the list. I felt like a child reading it – by which I mean I was totally subsumed in it. It was if the book was real and my life was the fiction. Zadie Smith - 10/08/2012
