“In the tradition of Philip K. Dick and, more recently, Charles Yu, Ben Tanzer’s protagonist is uncomfortable in the future he inhabits—a messy, all-too-human disaster in a clean, pristine world of black helicopters and androids. Like the best science fiction, it’s not the science that matters in Orphans; it’s the gaps between the science and the imperfect humans who created it. The struggles here—work, family, parenthood, responsibility—are as old as the caves and as
modern as robots and freeze-dried ice cream.”—Amber Sparks, author of May We Shed
