What's really going on? Who's really in charge? You have NO. F***KING. IDEA.
A frighteningly persuasive, high-tech fable, this novel follows the lives of four narrators living in an alternative futuristic Cape Town, South Africa. An art-school dropout, and AIDS baby, a tech-activist and an RPG-obsessed blogger live in a world where your online identity is at least as important as your physical one. Getting disconnected is a punishment worse than imprisonment, but someone's got to stand up to Government Inc. - whatever the cost. Taking hedonistic trends in society to their ultimate conclusions, this tale paints anything but a forecasted utopia, satirically undermining the reified idea of progress as society's white knight.

From the bestselling author of The Shining Girls and the Arthur C. Clarke-award-winningZoo City.

Review:
Moxyland does lots of things, masterfully, that lots of sf never even guesses that it *could* be doing. --William Gibson, author of Neuromancer

[Moxyland] scatters township street slang and Gibsonesque techno jargon across the page. Its heart is absolutely in the right place --Jon Courtenay Grimwood, SFX

Review:
Bold, inventive, believable, deeply engaging and overtly, sublimely political, Moxyland will draw to itself a wide and appreciative audience
