Reality Testing Paperback Out Now

Ecopunk manifesto and all-round action-packed thrill ride, Reality Testing, is out and about and available in paperback now. Published by Black Rose (Texas), Reality Testing is book #1 in the Sundown series, where cyberpunk antiheroes navigate the mean streets of near-future, climate-obsessed Berlin in search of purpose and cool implants.

Here’s what acclaimed sci fi writer Neil Sharpson, author of When the Sparrow Falls, has to say about it:

“A tough-as-nails shot of adrenaline-laced, Gibson-esque cyberpunk, set in a decaying future where the corporatocracy has sacrificed humanity to reverse the ecological hell they themselves created. Highly recommended for fans of the genre.”

Available via Amazon, Waterstones, Walmart, Barnes & Noble and a bunch of other places I’m probably not aware of. The place where I get the most money (ha) is from the publisher’s website.

Kirkus Best Indie Books 2021

This December, Kirkus published its annual list of ‘Best Indie Books 2021’, and Reality Testing was listed as one of them (replete with its old cover). So far this has opened zero new doors for me, but it’s a nice nod of recognition from one of the most prestigious book review magazines in the world.

From the review:

“Readers will find an instant echo of the invigorating cyberpunk territory famously birthed by visionary SF author William Gibson—and, not long after, written off by the novelist himself as a genre past its expiration date. But Price reboots the familiar noir scenarios of greedy multinationals, hero hackers, and freakishly augmented adventurers, upgrading the software with piquant bytes of green politics run amok and the unholy intersections of capitalism, recession, and transhumanism.”
