"Christina Dalcher's Master Class conjures an America informed by
tragic elements of its past and present where science and humanity
are both abused in ways that are all-too familiar and plausible.
Her heroic women and tough yet elegant prose suggest Margaret
Atwood updated for this moment. Master Class will confirm your
fears and affirm your hope."—Michael D'Antonio, Pulitzer
Prize-winning journalist and author of The State Boys Rebellion
"The book's examination of the way people will accept more and more
small social changes until the system becomes something
unrecognizable and horrific feels timely and urgent...top notch and
keeps the reader guessing. An engaging parable of dangerous social
change."—Kirkus Reviews
"Dalcher combines the pace and tension of a standout thriller with
thought-provoking projections of the possible end result of ranking
children based on test scores. Admirers of The Handmaid’s
Tale will be appropriately unsettled."—Publishers Weekly
(starred review)
"Dalcher's novel reads like an expanded episode of Black Mirror; it
is terrifying, haunting, and cautionary."—Booklist
"Dalcher has proven herself a master author of insidious
suspense."—The Nerd Daily
"Poignant, chilling and painfully self-aware, Master Class is
another eye-opening read from an author who is not afraid to ask
the hardest questions imaginable—and force her readers to answer
them.”—BookReporter.com
