“This is a collection of dexterous, loving, beautifully optimistic work that left me breathless and delighted.... Hannu Rajaniemi's magnificent science fiction — as is paradoxically appropriate — is pure magic.”
—Amal El-Mohtar, NPR.com

“...the best and most original debut anthology since Angela Carter’s “Fireworks” 40 years ago.”
—Tom Shippey, Wall Street Journal

“This delightful trip into imaginative worlds brings a fresh take to timeless ideas.”
—Publishers Weekly

A May 2015 Buzzfeed pick

“You may already know Rajaniemi from his buzzy Jean le Flambeur series (The Quantum Thief, The Fractal Prince,The Causal Angel); if that’s the case, rest assured that his Collected Fiction offer the same fantastical quality, but in a dozen different flavors. If you’re new to his charms, this is an excellent place to start: Rajaniemi writes post-singular fairy tales about computer-dragon romances, technologically-uplifted cats and dogs, and haunted space stations. If you like your science fiction lavish and the science part a little outlandish, this is definitely the book for you.”
—Barnes & Noble.com

“Rajaniemi combines incredible technological expertise with such a vast imagination that many of his stories leave me overwhelmed by the worlds he creates. This collection demonstrates his breadth as well, involving everything from his invention of neurofiction to his stories of algorithmic romance to his tales that invoke ancient Finnish gods. Whatever the genre or subject, Rajaniemi’s stories are guaranteed to be interesting, unique, and utterly captivating. If a science fiction author’s job is to “think of impossible things,” then I can’t imagine anyone who does it better.”
—Bookaneer

“SF and Rajaniemi’s fiction in particular impart a sense of glamour, otherness, and estrangement.... the best stories are up there with the best.”
—Booklikes

“An excellent and versatile collection.... If you want originality, creativity, imagination and style from your stories, you can't go wrong by reading these stories.”
—Risingshadows

“Nano-jacked super-beings, carnivorous emergent technologies, the doors of perception yanked wide and almost off their hinges… put the barrel of Rajaniemi’s fiction in your mouth and blow your mind.”
—Richard Morgan, author of Altered Carbon and The Dark Defiles

“These are beautifully crafted, sometimes cutting, sometimes consoling, but always mesmerizing tales of what comes after what comes next.”
—So I Read This Book Today

“[Rajaniemi’s] fiction is a vortex where the science and strangeness of the future meet, exploding in ferris wheel fireworks of bold ideas, narrative complexity and damned good writing.”
—My Biochemical Sky

“If you enjoy surfing the edge of mindspace and occasionally dipping into a wormhole of true otherness, I highly recommend this collection of stories, as well as his previous Jean Le Flambeur series. Take along your exocortex and reserve a few spare cloud cycles, to forestall brain overload.”
—Undiscovered Country

“There is something sublime, poetic and playful about how Rajaniemi blends mythology and technology in near (and far) future scenarios.”
—Paper Wanderer

“For fans of science fiction or science fantasy, or even readers looking for a well written excursion from their usual reading material, I’d highly recommend Hannu Rajaniemi’s Collected Fiction—it’s a fantastic experience.”
—Open Book Society

“Rajaniemi's stories form not only one of the best and most consistent collections of sci-fi and fantasy writing I've had the pleasure of reading but one of the best collections of fiction of any kind published so far this century.”
—The Book Table

“If you haven't read any Rajaniemi, it's time to start.”
—Bookishly Witty

“...I strongly recommend this collection. Sit back, strap yourself in, and enjoy some first-class storytelling.”
—There Are Inkspots on my Page

“This isn’t a book for your grandfather. This isn’t a book for a Star Wars fan. This isn’t a book for someone just getting into reading sci-fi. But if you’ve read Greg Egan, Charles Stross, Richard Morgan, Daniel Suarez, Vernor Vinge, or if you’ve read “The Quantum Thief” trilogy, pick this up as soon as possible.”
—The Daily
