Review:

`Superbly evocative... a book about varieties of intelligence (human, artificial, moral and emotional) which showcases the novelistic one of its very smart and very talented creator' Sunday Times `The best fictional treatment of the possibilities and horrors of artificial intelligence that I've read' Guardian `I Still Dream is amazing!' Beth Lewis, author of Wolf Road `A haunting meditation on the implications of AI, on intelligence itself, and on what it means to live and die in the age of technology. I Still Dream is a must-read for fans of David Mitchell, for anyone who's ever used a smartphone, and for anyone who appreciates riveting plots and beautiful prose.' Emily St. John Mandel, author of Station Eleven `Combines tense corporate drama with a tender and affecting life story. Although it describes the creation of an artificial intelligence, it is really about how we create ourselves, and the people we love. Though rooted in today's news and debates, its human story makes it timeless ... a profound and beautiful book' Will Wiles `A humane, thought-provoking and powerful book ... superbly orchestrated ... beautiful, involving, emotionally compelling' Adam Roberts `One of the most affecting and brilliant books I've read this year ... a huge achievement: toweringly ambitious, and yet beautifully controlled and crafted' Sam Byers, author of Idiopathy `This is a visionary novel about what it is to be human. It is a startling look at intelligence, empathy and grief in the face of technology. Smythe has written his masterpiece' Nikesh Shukla, editor of The Good Immigrant and author of Meatspace `I STILL DREAM begins with melancholy nostalgia, before growing urgently contemporary and finally chillingly prescient. It is a strikingly intelligent book about intelligence itself: artificial intelligence, emotional intelligence, and all the ways we watch each other. Having read it, you may wish to turn off your phone' Sarah Perry, author of The Essex Serpent
