J. O. Morgan is a Scottish author. His 2018 work Assurances, looking at the RAF's early involvement with maintaining the nuclear deterrent, won that year's Costa Poetry Award. He has been twice shortlisted for both the Forward and the T. S. Eliot Prize. Appliance is his second novel.
Appliance is a work of peculiar genius that gives the truth about modern technology. * The Times, *Sci-Fi Book of the Year* * These deceptively simple tales... reveal how magical technology does people absolutely no good whatsoever... superb. * The Times, Science Fiction Book of the Month * A serious-minded examination of the instinctive human ambivalence towards innovation. * Financial Times, *Summer Reads of 2022* * A clever book, delivered confidently, that will have you thinking about the machines in your own life. * Sunday Times * Such a super book. -- Wendy Erskine, author of Sweet Home and Dance Move
