Reviews
A New York Times Editors' Choice Pick! A Most Anticipated Pick for USA Today Bustle Buzzfeed Goodreads Nerdist io9 WBUR Polygon The New Scientist "In this ambitious novel, dense with perspectives and social commentary, Onyebuchi dreams up disparate lives in a crumbling future America--with gentrifiers returning to Earth from space colonies and laborers trying to make a precarious living--while leaving room for moments of beauty and humor."-- The New York Times , Editors' Choice "Goliath contains a sprawling collection of characters making their way across a future Earth--already abandoned by the wealthy--that feels vividly, grimly real. This is an arrival."--John Scalzi "Onyebuchi sets fire to the boundary between fiction and reality, and brings a crumbling city and an all too plausible future to vibrant life. Riveting, disturbing, and rendered in masterful detail."--Leigh Bardugo "A work of stunningly careful craftsmanship on every level. A vision of a future so plausible it's frightening. Onyebuchi's at his best here."--R. F. Kuang "Harrowing, visionary. . . . it's urgent, gorgeous work."-- Publishers Weekly "An ingenious premise: Onyebuchi suburbanizes outer space and makes battered, almost uninhabitable provincial America the frontier. . . . [He] showcases an impressive range. . ."-- The New York Times " Goliath is a haunting and incisive look at a world that could very much be our own."-- Los Angeles Review of Books "The premise is wry and au courant. In a lesser writer's hands, it could lead to lazy and cynical caricatures, but Onyebuchi uses it only as a jumping off point into a deeper examination of the idea of home, and what we will do to get there."-- The New Scientist "This brainy, brawny sci-fi story that uses futuristic concepts to comment on 2022 and eternal issues of class, disenfranchisement, and cold, hard capitalism."-- The Philadelphia Inquirer "Onyebuchi's adult novel debut is a full sensory experience of language and imagery, readers are given a near-future world where race, class, and gentrification still drives the narrative, both on Earth and in the stars."-- Library Journal Praise for Riot Baby An Alex Award Winner Winner of the New England Book Award A World Fantasy Award Winner An Ignyte Award Winner A Hugo Award Finalist Nebula Award Finalist "Onyebuchi's voice work is magnificent, sharp and whipping. . . . This book recognizes that intimate knowledge of suffering can be a source of strength, can be sustaining as well as depressing -- that we can grieve the inheritance of generations of ancestors' pain while marveling at their endurance, and recognize that resilience as part of their legacy."-- The New York Times " Riot Baby bursts at the seams of story with so much fire, passion and power that in the end it turns what we call a narrative into something different altogether."--Marlon James "Onyebuchi has woven a story as uplifting as it is heartbreaking, an epic ode to the future and past, tiny acts of resistance, love, and the wild unstoppable sweep of revolution."--Daniel José Older "Equal parts provocative and riveting, Riot Baby is what all speculative fiction should strive to be: wholly captivating."-- Salon "At its core, Riot Baby 's about sibling love, broken communities, loss, sacrifice and harnessing one's power to break free. . . . An experience and an absolute must-read."-- FIYAH, A New York Times Editors' Choice Pick! An Amazon Best of the Month Pick!

Synopsis
"Riveting, disturbing, and rendered in masterful detail." --Leigh Bardugo In the 2050s, Earth has begun to empty. Those with the means and the privilege have left the great cities of the United States for the more comfortable confines of space colonies. Those left behind salvage what they can from the collapsing infrastructure. Their neighborhoods are being cannibalized, brick by brick, with materials being sent up to the colonies as a quaint reminder of the world that they wrecked. A primal biblical epic flung into the future, Goliath weaves together disparate narratives--a space-dweller looking at New Haven as a chance to reconnect with his spiraling lover; a group of civil servants attempting to renew the promises of Earth's crumbling cities; a journalist attempting to capture the violence of the streets; a marshal questioning what form justice could even take--into a richly urgent mosaic about race, class, gentrification, and who is allowed to be the hero of any history., A New York Times Editors' Choice Pick!
