Reviews
"Literary hybrids of Jane Austen novels and zombie stories? That's so last year. Quirk Books, which released the best-selling novels Pride and Prejudice and Zombies and Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters , has seen the future of the mashup novel, and it is Leo Tolstoy and robots."- New York Times "Anna's nightmare, one of the most famous passages in Anna Karenina , clearly anticipates the 'steampunk-inspired' atmosphere of Android Karenina … Tolstoy didn't know about steampunk or cyborgs, but he did know about the nightmarishness of steam power, unruly machines, and the creepy half-human status of the Russian peasant classes." -Elif Batuman, author of The Possessed , via The New Yorker " Creepy, thrilling, and highly enjoyable!"- Library Journal "Whenever a truly pulpy trend reaches its apotheosis like this, I can't help but wonder if we'll get a new classic out of it."- io9 " Android Karenina lives up to its promise to make Tolstoy 'awesomer.'"- The Onion AV Club "Winters, a playwright, librettist, and author of Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters , connects all of Tolstoy's dots in the cleverly bizarre world he has created and he transforms a Russian novel into a reasonably demented work of science fiction."- Galley Cat "With Android , Winters has given Tolstoy's beautiful Russian epic a steampunk edge, filling the book with robots, space travel and yes, even a few aliens."- Techland, "Literary hybrids of Jane Austen novels and zombie stories?
