'The Impossible Fortress reads like a newly-unearthed Amblin movie – a sweet, funny and moving tribute to nerds and misfits everywhere, set in a magical time when cassettes were king, phones had cords and Playboy was the pinnacle of smut. Fans of Ernie Cline and Chuck Klosterman – this is your next favourite book.'
Seth Grahame-Smith, author of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies

'A love letter to the 1980s, adolescence, technology, nerd-dom, and Vanna White, The Impossible Fortress will make you laugh and remind you of how much is possible when you're fourteen.'
David Ebershoff, author of The Danish Girl

'Part love story, part coming-of-age tale, and part heist picture, The Impossible Fortress is an endlessly clever novel about friendship, heartache and computers – all rendered with the bright colors and buoyant spirit of Q*bert for the Commodore 64.'
Ben H Winters, author of the Edgar award-winning Last Policeman trilogy
