""Ignore All Previous Instructions is a deliciously queer, timely ode to human creativity in an ever-more-algorithmic world. It's subtle philosophical depth, keen observations, and lyrical poignancy will wow you, even as its neurodivergent hero steals your heart."" --Maria Dong, author of Liar, Dreamer, Thief and Aviary Praise for The Outside Philip K. Dick Award finalist Compton Crook Award finalist Earphones Award winner [STARRED REVIEW] ""Hoffmann confidently layers morality and disability rights into a breezily told adventure that bursts with sheer fun."" --Publishers Weekly ""Compellingly written, tense, and thrilling, with fascinating (and weird) worldbuilding and brilliant characters, The Outside is a fantastic debut."" --Locus ""A boffo combination of hard science fiction, cosmic Lovecraftian horror, both cyber-and-god-punk, some ridiculously charismatic aliens, and a fascinating female protagonist somewhere on the autism spectrum."" --Skiffy and Fanty ""A gripping examination of the battle between good and evil on a grand scale."" --The Guardian
