'I hugely recommend Simon Edges magnificent pair of novels, The End of the World is Flat and In the Beginning. Coruscating satires on currently trendy anti-science lunacy, and the spiteful viciousness of its juvenile zealots and their cowardly adult enablers Richard Dawkins
Simon Edge is the wickedest of satirists, and never funnier than when skewering transgender activism and credulity Amanda Craig
In his nifty satire, Simon Edge has created a fictional popular lunacy saying that Earth is millions of years old is offensive to expose exactly how such human madnesses occur. The book effectively boils it down to a combination of social conformist bubbles and powerful, bad-but-attractive, ideas The Spectator
A pacy satire [ which] lampoons the lunacy and captures the personal devastation caused by the movement to erase biological sex. Compelling and empathic... Edge perfectly exposes the ludicrous views and hollow values held by the globes most educated people Jo Bartosch, The Critic
Funny, clever, and the retelling of the Maya Forstater case in the most astute and hilarious manner. I loved every line Julie Bindel
Completely absurd yet painfully accurate, In the Beginning brilliantly parodies a fiasco that already seems beyond parody Victoria Smith, author of Hags
Hilarious, horrifying and deliciously perverse In the Beginning captures the modern world and shines a bright light at its imperfections Christina Dalcher, author of Vox
Another richly enjoyable, rapier-sharp lampoon of cancel culture, witch hunts and the madness of crowds from the author of The End of the World is Flat Saga Magazine
A cathartic read for anyone still reeling from the absurdities of the gender wars, or any of the other topics in which self-proclaimed progressives attempt to mandate false beliefs. Highly recommended Holly Lawford-Smith
Brilliant! Totally gripping, perfectly capturing both the absurdity and horror of this madness. I laughed out loud lots and I got quite emotional with both anger and joy Gareth Roberts, author of Gay Shame
Simon Edge is Britains leading exponent of Horatian satire. Yes, he likes his characters, but also sees through them and us, his readers with pellucid insight Helen Dale
Stories that communicate the current insanity to the future will be essential. Edge has novelised the historical moment of Terf Island brilliantly The Distance
