: “Intricate plotting, unflagging inventiveness, and a judicious sprinkling of puns and in-jokes: Brin keeps the pages feverishly turning.”–Kirkus Reviews
“Brin presents a rich, kaleidoscopic story that challenges the concepts of identity and individuality.”– Library Journal
“Brin deftly explores the issues of identity, privacy and work . . . the book features the author’s usual style, with a lighter touch and punish humor abounding amid the hard SF speculation.”--Publishers Weekly
“More than any writer I know, David Brin can take scary, important problems and turn them sideways, revealing wonderful opportunities. This talent shows strongly in Kiln People, a novel which is deep and insightful and often hilarious, all at the same time.”—Vernor Vinge
