"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
"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

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 Locus 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
