To have a book that marries real London life, time travel and relativity in an illuminating and entertaining way is stuff I used to dream about. I had The Upper World in my hands until I finished it. So happy this exists.

A BLISTERING, FEROCIOUS

SCIENCE FICTION STORY

An audacious blend of quantum physics, Ancient Greek philosophy and south London gang culture, The Upper World is a blistering, ferocious science fiction story that asks, what we would change if we could, and what would happen if we couldn’t? Make some room at the table, Doctor Who – there’s a new time-travelling hero in town.

– Melinda Salisbury
