Reviews
"Somewhere in the slipstream between science fiction and fantasy--a little to the left of early Chiang, a few degrees south of Miéville--Yaroslav Barsukov has word-painted a world I can see when I close my eyes." --Peter Watts (Hugo Award-winning author of Blindsight ) "Masterful. It is action-packed and emotionally rich, delightfully grim and unsettling at times. At the end, I could only sit back and say, "Wow.""-- Beth Cato (author of A Thousand Recipes for Revenge ), "Mind-expanding fantasy and SF"-- Kirkus (starred review) "Simply put, this is the most impressive debut novel I have encountered since Simon Jimenez's The Vanished Birds."-- Locus Magazine "Somewhere in the slipstream between science fiction and fantasy--a little to the left of early Chiang, a few degrees south of Miéville--Yaroslav Barsukov has word-painted a world I can see when I close my eyes." --Peter Watts (Hugo Award-winning author of Blindsight ) "Masterful. It is action-packed and emotionally rich, delightfully grim and unsettling at times. At the end, I could only sit back and say, "Wow.""-- Beth Cato (author of A Thousand Recipes for Revenge ) "Dreamy and precise, huge in scope and very personal, this is a towering achievement and a genre-busting tour de force."-- Daily Mail "A literary masterpiece"-- Before We Go Blog "Sleeping Worlds Have No Memory is a surreal and ambitious undertaking, surprising at every turn. From the moment the tower appears on the page, a steady sense of dread and wonder builds toward a staggering conclusion, one that may just change the way you think."--Andrea Stewart (bestselling author of The Bone Shard Daughter), "Somewhere in the slipstream between science fiction and fantasy--a little to the left of early Chiang, a few degrees south of Miéville--Yaroslav Barsukov has word-painted a world I can see when I close my eyes." --Peter Watts (Hugo Award-winning author of Blindsight ) "Eloquent, moody, poetic: Barsukov's Nebula Award finalist novella was incredible, but this continuation is masterful. It is action-packed and emotionally rich, delightfully grim and unsettling at times. At the end, I could only sit back and say, "Wow.""-- Beth Cato (author of A Thousand Recipes for Revenge )
Synopsis
"Mind-expanding" - Kirkus, starred review "Dreamy and precise, huge in scope and very personal, this is a towering achievement and a genre-busting tour de force." -- Daily Mail A science fantasy noir tale from the Nebula-nominated author of "Tower of Mud and Straw." Refusing the queen's order to gas a crowd of protesters, Minister Shea Ashcroft is banished to the border to oversee the construction of the biggest defensive tower in history. However, the use of advanced technology taken from refugees makes the tower volatile and dangerous, becoming a threat to local interests. Shea has no choice but to fight the local hierarchy to ensure the construction succeeds--and to reclaim his own life. Surviving an assassination attempt, Shea confronts his inner demons, encounters an ancient legend, and discovers a portal to a dead world--all while struggling to stay true to his own principles and maintain his sanity. Fighting memories and hallucinations, he starts to question everything... Sleeping Worlds Have No Memory is a thought-provoking meditation on the fragility of the human condition, our beliefs, the manipulation of propaganda for political gains, and our ability to distinguish the real from the unreal and our willingness to accept convenient "truths." The novel is a compelling exploration of memory, its fragile nature, and its profound impact on our perception of identity, relationships, and facts themselves. "Eloquent, moody, poetic. . . masterful."--Beth Cato (author of A Thousand Recipes for Revenge ) A note from the author: "A major theme of the book is how disinformation and propaganda can be used to justify violence, and how ignoring evil can lead people to accept atrocities. I was able to witness all this first-hand, having spent the first 21 years of my life in Russia and absorbing the recent events unfiltered and in my native tongue. Sleeping worlds are not only devoid of memories; they are also oblivious to the pain of others." A unique blend of science fiction, fantasy and noir, with zeitgeist and prophetic qualities (the original novella anticipated the Russo-Ukrainian War), this is a must for fans of China Miéeacute;ville's Bas-Lag series, Ted Chiang's Tower of Babylon , and Robert Silverberg's Tower of Glass. "An imaginative, heady clash of fantasy and science-fiction that delivers powerful messages" -- FantasyBookCritic " Triumphs in its emotional and unsettling storytelling" -- The Fantasy Hive, Sleeping Worlds Have No Memory is a mesmerizing journey through a world where the extraordinary becomes the ordinary. The novel unfolds in a realm where the past and the present intertwine, crafting a narrative that is as enchanting as it is thought-provoking. At the heart of the story is a compelling exploration of memory and its profound impact on our identities and relationships. The characters are richly developed, each grappling with their own intricate histories and secrets that gradually unravel as the plot progresses.Barsukov's mastery in world-building is evident throughout the novel. He creates a vivid and detailed universe that feels both familiar and entirely new, drawing the reader into a world where the boundaries between reality and imagination blur. The storytelling is immersive, combining elements of fantasy, science fiction, and drama in a seamless and captivating way. The prose is lyrical and evocative, making every scene resonate with emotion and depth. Sleeping Worlds Have No Memory is a remarkable achievement, a book that offers both an exhilarating adventure and a profound meditation on the human condition. It's a must-read for anyone who loves stories that not only entertain but also challenge and inspire. Barsukov's unique voice and imaginative storytelling make this novel a standout in the genre, a work that will linger in readers' minds long after the final page is turned., NOMINATED FOR THE NEBULA AWARD "Mind-expanding" -- Kirkus, starred review "Dreamy and precise, huge in scope and very personal, this is a towering achievement and a genre-busting tour de force." -- Daily Mail Refusing the queen's order to gas a crowd of protesters, Minister Shea Ashcroft is banished to the border to oversee the construction of the biggest defensive tower in history.
