Critics Review
Ken MacLeod’s The Execution Channel starts like a techno-thriller “ripped from tomorrow’s headlines”, a thrilling, fast-moving tale of suspense rife with paranoia and multiple conspiracy theories. However, it’s deeper and more thoughtful than most thrillers. MacLeod vividly and economically portrays an all-too-plausible world in which war has spread across the Middle East and Central Asia; millions of Americans live in FEMA concentration camps due to climate change; the British Government is considering deporting all Muslims, and what’s really happening is hidden in a blizzard of disinformation and propaganda. This is politically engaged, speculative fiction at its finest, with a conclusion that’s absolutely mind-blowing. - THE TIMES
