Media Reviews
Sawyer has quietly become one of our most important science-fiction writers, examining different philosophical and ethical problems that come with advancing technology. In Mindscan . . . he focuses on the legal and moral ramifications involved in various definitions of humanity in an intriguing and stylistically fine story. Grade: A. -- Denver Rocky Mountain News A tale involving courtroom drama, powerful human emotion and challenging SF mystery. And Sawyer juggles it all with intelligence and far-reaching vision worthy of Isaac Asimov. -- Starlog on Mindscan Sawyer lucidly explores fascinating philosophical conundrums.

Praise for Rollback
A novel to be savored by science-fiction and mainstream readers alike. -- Toronto Globe & Mail
This is what SF is supposed to be about: Discovery as carried out by real people. A joy to read; a superb novel. -- Jack McDevitt, author of Odyssey

Likeable characters facing big ethical dilemmas . . . [a] smoothly readable near-future SF novel. - Publishers Weekly , starred review

Sawyer's near-future speculative fiction reveals many advances in medicine and robotics. But it's the humanness of the closeness (and the distance) between Sarah and Don that makes Rollback an early candidate for sci-fi book of the year. - Kansas City Star
