I LOVED Extremophile by Ian Green because it's about clever, nice kids* in a hard world, trying to learn how to do hard things while staying true to themselves. There's no padding, the pace is exhilarating, and the ending made me cry from sheer hope and beauty.

*They're adults, but I'm old, okay?

"cyberpunk with the punk multiple-underlined hard in red marker" is absolutely the aim. Hope you enjoy!

Trying not to leave any indie bookshop empty handed on principle. This is today's exit strategy - Extremophile by Ian Green. Seems to be cyberpunk with the punk multiple-underlined hard in red marker. Right up my street :)

Ian Green’s Extremophile is seriously punk, and deserves to be widely read. If you haven’t picked it up yet, do!

I got the audiobook and loved it to pieces.

You should read Extremophile. I loved it - it's a manic antifascist adventure that doesn't offer easy answers but does have music, great characters and bad people getting their comeuppance.

I had such a great time writing this piece for Reactor! one of the great things about publishing a book is people let you write about things you’re vaguely obsessed with

Reactor Magazine @reactorsff.bsky.social · 7d

Drawing from stories such as Hiron Ennes' Leech and Kazuo Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go, author @tinywriterlaura.bsky.social reviews the popularity of medical horror, placing it alongside the return of dystopian fiction:
