" Wilders is a vision of future America that's by turns exhilarating and terrifying. With a heroine you can genuinely root for and a world that's an all-too-likely outcome of our generation's choices, Wilders is one of the best near-future adventures in years. Combining the ecology of rewilding, next-gen robotics, and the savage politics of a post-global America, this is a book that raises and answers more questions than most writers manage in an entire series. And there's more to come!" --Karl Schroeder, award-winning author of Lockstep   "A vivid picture of a world rebuilding from the edge of ecological ruin and the seeming conflicts between civilization and the nature it depends on." --Ramez Naam, award-winning author of the Nexus series   " Wilders is a fantastic voyage into a beautifully intricate solarpunk future. Cooper's work is philosophically and psychologically relevant. Throughout Wilders , she gracefully examines the tensions between emerging technologies, human nature, and our ecosystem." --Gray Scott, futurist and techno-philosopher   PRAISE FOR THE WORK OF BRENDA COOPER: " Spear of Light exceeds my already high expectations for a Brenda Cooper novel.

The exploration of what makes us human shines through this entertaining read." --J. A. Pitts, author of Black Blade Blues    "I loved Brenda Cooper's Philip K. Dick Award-nominated novel Edge of Dark , but the follow-up, Spear of Light , is even better. Cooper pits human against post-human and brilliantly reveals the best and worst of her characters. This is a fascinating, well-realized world." --Patrick Swenson, author of The Ultra Thin Man "Like.

most of Brenda Cooper's work, really, Edge of Dark is a wonderful fusion of the character's futurist and science fiction vision with well-drawn characters and character dynamics that propel the plot and action." -- Skiffy and Fanty "Fascinating. Edge of Dark is worth reading for a unique vision of artificial intelligences. and Cooper gives you a lot to think about." - io9 "An intelligent, thoughtful look at what it might mean to coexist with superior AIs that we ourselves have created. Brenda Cooper's universe is detailed, inventive, and ultimately dazzling. I will remember Chrystal for a very long time." --Nancy Kress, winner of multiple Hugo and Nebula awards.
