The Fractal Prince Reviews
"The Fractal Prince addresses some of the largest issues – immortality and death, love and betrayal, the power of story – but it feels more like an intricate, bejewelled device than a deathstar. Often beautiful, it's also, often, rather stiff: a complex but inert piece of art, a mannequin rather than a real boy. But that's as much a strength as a weakness. Thoughtful, hard, densely realised and highly patterned, there's nothing quite like it in contemporary SF." - The Guardian (UK)
"The Fractal Prince is fantastically crafted, studiously stimulating, and aesthetically oh-so-satisfying science fiction. Hannu Rajaniemi may not be a man to hold hands, but surely exploration is more interesting, ultimately, than instruction. So sure, you'll burn a few brain cells reading his new book, but this is a fair price to pay for such calculated artistry." - Tor.com
