Review
The Turing Test should satisfy readers interested in well-plotted stories centered around interesting characters. --The Fix Online

Review
Beckett should "be on the radar of anyone who professes concern for science fiction as a literary form".

5.0 out of 5 stars A welcome collection of Chris Beckett's short fiction, 9 Jan 2009
By Dr. Sarah A. Brown "Sarah Brown" (Cambridge) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I read some of Chris Beckett's excellent stories in Interzone in the 1990s - `The Welfare Man' is particularly memorable. So this new collection is very welcome. These stories are witty, intriguing, absorbing and (unlike much recent sf) consistently readable. One of the things I like about Beckett's fiction is his willingness to return to familiar sf themes - a world (nearly) without men, the impact of AI on humans and their relationships, encounters with alien societies - and give them a new twist. I strongly recommend this collection to anyone who enjoys reading sf.
