PRAISE FOR NATHAN TAVARES
Tavares's worldbuilding is complex and fascinating in this kaleidoscope of a novel. The high-stakes science fiction is sharp and tragic, hopeful and thrilling. -Library Journal
Tavares is fast becoming my favourite SF writer. Welcome to Forever is a masterful futuristic love story, absorbing and all too real. -Kaaron Warren, award winning author of Into Bones Like Oil
Tavares reminds us that no matter how far technology advances, human connection will always bind us. This is a sharp and aching portrait of love painted with a deft hand. -Al Hess

Tavares keenly engages with contemporary conversations about immortality and identity, and weaves a heartbreakingly beautiful story about the lengths people go for the ones they love. -Victor Manibo
In Welcome to Forever, Tavares does what all great writers of science fiction do best. He takes our hopes, fears and anxieties about the way we live today, skewers them to the page and makes the reader watch, helpless and captivated as they wriggle underneath his touch. Whether he's probing the ethics - or absence thereof - in techno-capitalism, questioning whether the growing mental health industrial complex can really heal our minds and spirits or simply reminding us that it's often harder to keep love than find it, he finds way to bridge big ideas with the truths of human nature on every page. Welcome to Forever is a work of artistic maturity, dazzling imagination and a horrible sense of foresight over what might come to pass - if we let it happen. -Chris McCrudden, author of the Battlestar Suburbia series
