The Downloaded print and ebook editions
Robert J. Sawyer's new novel available for pre-order now
My 25th novel, The Downloaded, is now available for pre-order in both print and ebook editions!
“Hope wins out in this triumph of a postapocalyptic tale from Hugo and Nebula award winner Sawyer. Sawyer keeps the stakes climbing ever higher as he toggles between the perspectives of his disparate cast. Sci-fi fans will eat this up.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review, denoting a book of exceptional merit)

Praise for The Downloaded
“Rollicking good fun both viscerally and intellectually.” —Amazing Stories
“More satisfying than many novels two or three times its length.” —Booklist
“Robert J. Sawyer’s new novel is a potent distillation of everything that makes science fiction so addictive. In the space of a concise and tightly-plotted story, The Downloaded explores a broad swath of future history and absolutely sizzles with fascinating ideas. You want space travel, a ruined Earth, virtual worlds, a cast of relatable characters, and a glimpse into the labyrinth of human destiny? Look no further: this book has all that and more.” —Robert Charles Wilson, Hugo Award-winning author of Spin
“In The Downloaded, Robert J. Sawyer proves he’s not just a master of using science fiction to address social issues but also a master of devious plot twists and diverse character voices.” —James Alan Gardner, Theodore Sturgeon Award-winning author of Commitment Hour
“No one does the end of the world quite like Robert J. Sawyer. The Downloaded is a wicked-smart thrill ride from start to finish. I loved it.” —Sylvain Neuvel, bestselling author of A History of What Comes Next
“Robert J. Sawyer is well known for big-concept original SF and rigorous research. While The Downloaded continues in this vein, it’s also a wonderful demonstration of another aspect of this impressive author: his deep understanding of — and compassion for — people, regardless who or what they are, or even what they have done. It’s a rare and potent humanity that elevates Sawyer’s work high above the rest.” —Julie E. Czerneda, Aurora Award-winning author of To Each This World
“One of the best SF novels I’ve read in years.” —Allen Steele, Hugo Award-winning author of Coyote
