Description
A genre-bending near-future tech nightmare that is as bitingly funny as it is horrifically believable, from the New York Times bestselling author of The Cabin at the End of the World.
Meet Julia Flang, a twenty-something former professional gamer, living with her retired uncle, and working two jobs she doesn't like. Out of the blue, her estranged mother, a CFO for one of the world's largest tech companies, offers her a temp job with a payday Julia can't refuse. One sham interview later, she's offered the job: to chaperone a man in a vegetative state from California to the East Coast. But he's not dead dead: he has an AI mind implanted in his head…
Meet a middle-aged man who wakes within a disorienting hellscape filled with monstrous grotesqueries. Worse than the fluid, morphing reality in which he's trapped, he has no memory of who he is. He certainly doesn't remember getting the rabbit tattoo on his arm. He only knows that he must find a certain person.
Who? He can't remember.
Dead but Dreaming of Electric Sheep is a heady, terrifying genre-bender from one of the most groundbreaking voices in fiction today, exploring the 'I' in AI.

Tremblay [is] not just one of our great horror writers but one of our great fiction writers, full stop
New York Times
-
Paul Tremblay is one of the most terrifying horror writers of his generation.
Joe Hill, No.1 New York Times bestselling author of King Sorrow
-
Mind-bending . . . Dipping into the darker side of science fiction, this is a chilling story that imagines a brain implant allowing the dead to walk . . . and the person hired to control them.
Guardian
-
Philip K. Dick would be honored to read Tremblay's novel, which, with its hypnotic prose, compels us to confront our existential horror even as it makes us laugh, excites us, moves us, and yes, makes us shudder a lot
Agustina Bazterrica, the international best-selling author of Tender Is the Flesh
-
Tremblay has always been an innovator, but this beautifully written collection of real and imagined grotesqueries cements him not only as one of the most original and exciting voices in horror but also one of the smartest, most engaging authors in contemporary fiction.
