Sparky writing, clever plotting and biting wit spin...an excellent tale * Guardian, Books of the Year * Impressive... The work of a writer with real talent. The prose is lively, too: vivid, full of lovely touches, and equally able to describe the large-scale disasters, thunderstorms, earthquakes, end-of-days big-screen doom, and the minutiae of ordinary living * Guardian * Stunningly impressive ...it is wonderful - maybe my top read of the year so far: disturbing, clever, beautifully written and, like all the best dystopias, it makes me even more grateful for the world I live in now * New Scientist * An impressive debut. Foster is a writer of imaginative daring and narrative dexterity -- Jeffrey Eugenides Circular Motion is a gift: every paragraph offers something to make you think, laugh, feel or simply look up from the page and sigh in awe or recognition. -- Jonathan Safran Foer I'm a sucker for doomsday novels, but Circular Motion sucker-punched me right in the heart. Brilliantly written and utterly absorbing. Who needs gravity when Alex Foster keeps you absolutely grounded in his prose -- Gary Shteyngart A deep investigation of how time is valued in contemporary society, while also being a deftly plotted page-turner. I read it in just a couple of sittings; time flew -- Vauhini Vara, Pulitzer Prize finalist for THE IMMORTAL KING RAO
