Leonid Korogodski, the author of Pink Noise: A Posthuman Tale is interviewed by Fascinating Authors: The posthuman world, the world of disembodied software-driven minds, is the ultimate foil against which to illuminate what it means to be human. The story focuses on the subtle but fundamental differences between analog and digital intelligences (brain versus computer). What makes us different? Can computers completely replace our bodies? And what would happen if someone tries it? […] For the rest of the interview, click here.

Rich Horton reviews Pink Noise: A Posthuman Tale in the January issue of Locus Magazine: Pink Noise is a novella which comes in a quite stunningly well-put-together package. […] The action is partly inner to the uploaded brain states, and partly outer, involving some wild spaceship tech. […] the ideas keep buzzing. For the complete review, see the print or digital January issue of Locus Magazine.

Jennifer Walker interviews me on A Cup Of Coffee And A Good Book.

Jennifer Walker reviews Pink Noise: A Posthuman Tale on her blog A Cup Of Coffee And A Good Book: Leonid Korogodski’s Pink Noise is an exciting and imaginative voyage far into the future, showing us where our future very well may go many hundreds of years from now. A hard core science fiction, this book is not for the faint of heart or casual reader–there is some disturbing violence, although limited, and the language is heavily laden with physics and science terms that sometimes makes it hard to follow for those who are not used to it. However, the story…

Grace Krispy reviewed the ebook version of Pink Noise on MotherLode: This book was a whirlwind adventure. There was something fluid and hypnotic about the phrasing in this story, making me feel very much like a futuristic Alice who had just fallen down the rabbit hole into a whole new world. Every time I thought I might have gotten a grip on reality, a new surprise threw me, once again, into another conversation with the Mad Hatter, making me question my own understanding of reality.

Chris Phillips reviews Pink Noise at BestsellersWorld.com: “Pink Noise” is highly recommended. The jargon does not detract from the story, but serves to enhance both plot and character development. Korogodski is a master wordsmith who uses unexpected plot twists and innuendo to good effect throughout the book. This is an enjoyable read for anyone interested in speculative science fiction and also black and white graphic art.

Yet another review of Pink Noise, this time from Sweden. This is what Ove Jansson has to say about the book: This is a real different novel, it is a posthuman tale about Nathi one of the best brain doctors in the solar system and how he saves a comatose girl and change the balance of power at the same time. It has a very unique tone and a lot of research has gone into it obvious by the 60 pages reference material at the end. This leaves only 130 pages of story which might sound little, but it is…

Another review of Pink Noise is discovered by our software archaeologists. This is what Antony Jones at SFBook.com has to say: This book is one of the most impressive works of literature I have read in some time, both utterly original and technologically head-spinning. The pace is relentless and the prose almost poetic in places with a real sense of grace and emotional power. Pink Noise is the explosive birth of a new star in science fiction.

Mark Ellis is a prolific writer, well known for the stories written as James Axler (including the popular Outlanders series) as for those written under his own name. A firm grip on the adventure aspect of storytelling is his forte, and Cryptozoica is a fine example of this. This is an adventure done right. I can easily see it rolling onto the big screen as naturally as a newborn coming out of a womb, already perfect, with hardly a change necessary. Somehow, Mark has managed to marry the Hollywood approach to filmmaking (Indiana Jones crossed with Jurassic Park), that typically…
