"A frighteningly relevant exploration of how the flow of information can manipulate public opinion...timely and perhaps timeless." "Kirkus" Starred Review"Older s sparkling debut, the first full-length novel from the novella-focused Tor.com imprint, serves as both a callback to classic futurist adventure tales by the likes of Brunner and Bester and a current examination of the power of information." "Publishers Weekly""Micro-democracy has several things to recommend it, but the biggest strength of Older's writing is how clear-eyed she is on the fact that no system we can imagine will fix the problems of human nature, whether apathy or lust for power." "RT Reviews""
