The Quantum Thief sequel is "stupefyingly entertaining, like a heist movie for post-singularity, AI-boosted string theoreticians from beyond spacetime" (Charles Stross).

"The good thing is, no one will ever die again. The bad thing is, everyone will want to."

A physicist receives a mysterious paper. The ideas in it are far, far ahead of current thinking and quite, quite terrifying. In a city of "fast ones," shadow players, and jinni, two sisters contemplate a revolution.

And on the edges of reality a thief, helped by a sardonic ship, is trying to break into a Schrödinger box for his patron. In the box is his freedom. Or not.

Jean de Flambeur is back. And he's running out of time.

In Hannu Rajaniemi's sparkling follow-up to the critically acclaimed international sensation The Quantum Thief, he returns to his awe-inspiring vision of the universe... and we discover what the future held for Earth.

"Stories within stories, mind-boggling scientific extrapolations, and flamboyant characters mark the author as a rising star of the genre." -- Library Journal

"Rajaniemi's witty language and charmingly wry hero will make the read well worth the effort for the first installment's fans." -- Publishers Weekly

"Fans of the author's popular debut novel, which mixed hard science with wild fantasy, will probably be lining up for this follow-up, which resolves some of the questions posed in The Quantum Thief but, on the other hand, asks several more, for which there are, as yet, no answers." -- Booklist
