Reviews
Praise for Sensation Machines "A witty, incisive commentary on the fallout from a generation betrayed by the promise of the American dream that, it turns out, masked a foundation of greed, broken social structures, and the topsy-turvy values of capitalism first." --The Daily Beast "With remarkable grace and wit, Adam Wilson puts the stethoscope to our national heart and diagnoses our deepest ills." --Alexandra Kleeman, author of You Too Can Have a Body Like Mine and Intimations " Sensation Machines is pitch dark and pitch perfect--a whip-smart take on marriage, capitalism, grief, and loneliness in a farcical, not-so-distant future. Adam Wilson effortlessly toggles between wry humor and genuine existential dread; the result is lyrical and lewd, brilliant and bleak." --Kimberly King Parsons, author of Black Light "Adam Wilson is a prose savant, and Sensation Machines is a not-so-small miracle. With its precise details about our current moment, profusion of voice and sound, Wilson''s new novel brings to mind everyone from Saul Bellow to Paul Beatty, Grace Paley to Zadie Smith. But his ideas and his syntax and his humor are entirely his. This is a great book by one of our funniest smartest sharpest contemporary novelists." --Daniel Torday, author of The Last Flight of Poxl West and Boomer 1 " Sensation Machines is precision-engineered to entertain, enlighten, and unsettle. Adam Wilson is a master craftsman with a globe-sized heart." --Joshua Cohen, author of Book of Numbers " Sensation Machines is part techno-political thriller, part social satire, and part family drama, and it succeeds wonderfully on all fronts. The book is smart, funny, and fast-paced, with lots to say about the mess we''re in, but the thing that has stayed with me is its heart. Adam Wilson exemplifies that old Pynchonian dictum: Keep cool, but care." --Christopher Beha, author of The Index of Self-Destructive Acts "Wilson''s observations are often sharp-witted, extracting humor from sources like video game addiction, cryptocurrency, and herd mentality . . . as Michael and Wendy''s marriage fractures, the author carefully braids their individual narratives to a satisfying, if inevitable, crescendo. This feels all too real." -- Publisher''s Weekly "A deft juxtaposition of contemporary American classes on par with Richard Price''s Lush Life ." -- Kirkus Reviews "Wilson delights with his pop-culture savvy, crisp prose, and unapologetic observations of revolutionary aspirations." -- Booklist "A delayed bildungsroman for a whole generation . . . It draws upon Occupy Wall Street, criticisms of neoliberalism, the affronts represented by the presidency of Donald Trump, and New York cultural mainstays . . . As its earnest leads laud fairness but establish themselves as the greatest impediments to progress, Sensation Machines nods to the adage that, the more circumstances change, the more they stay the same." -- Foreword Reviews "Adam Wilson''s new novel is the first entry in a genre we might soon call ''American pre-topianism'' . . . There''s grappling with internalized misogyny, hedge funds collapsing, treatises on Eminem, and oodles of invasive technology, and at the center of it all are Michael, Wendy, and a murder that might upend the whole country''s order. If each generation has a defining emotional bearing, like Gen X''s stranglehold on apathy, and the Boomers'' late-stage lurch from idealism into me-me Zen selfishness, Wilson posits the Elder Millennials (the Oregon Trail Generation) are perhaps defined by a strange sort of grief--an unshakable hope in the hopeless. It''s the kind of book that''s hyper of-the-times in order to understand recent history, and Sensation Machines understands America so well it''s almost mean." -- Chris Lee, Boswell Book Company, Milwaukee, WI, Praise for Sensation Machines "With remarkable grace and wit, Adam Wilson puts the stethoscope to our national heart and diagnoses our deepest ills." --Alexandra Kleeman, author of You Too Can Have a Body Like Mine and Intimations "Adam Wilson is a prose savant, and Sensation Machines is a not-so-small miracle.
