Praise
The writing itself is superb — a unique voice, a delicate balance of serious and depravity and lack-of-care-fun.
Impossible to be categorized into one genre, No Dogs in Philly is a compelling blend of cyberpunk, sci-fi, and crime noir. Andy Futuro is consistent with the dark tone — it's clear that the author truly knows what he's doing.
A delicious fusion of hard Cyberpunk and body horror. It pulls you in, gets you hooked — I honestly didn't know how it'll turn out, until the very end.
Andy Futuro's No Dogs in Philly is a gripping journey into a dystopian cyberpunk landscape, that seamlessly blends gritty noir with chilling sci-fi horror. What sets it apart is Futuro's astonishing world-building and the vivid, haunting atmosphere he weaves.
This cyberpunk novel is riveting, blending the rich cyberpunk atmosphere of Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash and the otherworldly mythology of Neil Gaiman's American Gods. It is woven deftly, immersing the reader effortlessly in the rich worldbuilding scene.
In many ways, I felt transported into a CALL OF CTHULHU tabletop game campaign... gritty cyberpunk dystopian grimness liberally interspersed with epic, cosmos-reaching mystical implications... and I loved it.
Do I recommend this to anyone that loves sci-fi, and ultra vivid gory violent tech noir dystopian metaphysical mind bending weirdness and clever weapons and gadgets in every orifice? ABSOLUTELY.
If you are looking for a quick read with a fantastic story, engaging characters, and that will leave you thinking for quite a long time after, this is definitely a great pick.
Andy Futuro's No Dogs in Philly is a really good detective novel in the vein of Phillip Marlowe and Sam Spade updated into a Cyberpunk reality. The novel is gritty, raw and has all the elements of the old fashion detective story instilled with tech implants.
A marvelous cyberpunk science fiction story! I really enjoyed this novel. My dad raised me with reading classic science fiction, but Andy Futuro takes sci-fi to a whole new level.
No Dogs in Philly is a weird and wonderful must-read for lovers of detective novels who don't mind their noir stained red with the blood of the innocent as an eldritch god crawls down the subway tunnel toward them.
RUOK? is a creative thriller/horror story told entirely through texts. I think the execution here is excellent — amplified by the format visibly resembling texts. It's a solid story told in a really neat format and I sped right through it because I liked it so much.
I need the next book so bad! This book is packed with fantastic one-liners. I'd watch the action movie. Highly recommend!
Once I started reading, I couldn't put it down. I highly recommend this novel for anyone who is looking for something a little different to read.
It's fiction, it's not supposed to be real life, it's just supposed to stimulate your brain and make you think. On that, it did a superb job.
This sci-fi, fantasy, horror paints a bleak future for humanity. Yet despite its dark themes, I genuinely enjoyed this book. There is a compelling lore which unfolds throughout the story.
The strength of the series continues to be Saru; she's a fantastic anti-heroine who is easy to like even when she does very unlikable things. Her no-nonsense attitude is refreshing and searing, and kept me riveted all the way through.
As a lifelong reader of dystopian fiction, lemme tell 'ya people...it doesn't get any better than this!
I continue to be so impressed with this author! The storyline is so original with fresh and interesting characters. The main character is nothing like you've read about before!
