Marc-Uwe Kling is a German author, songwriter, and stand-up comedian. Qualityland spent months on the German bestseller lists, has sold more than half a million copies to date internationally, and is currently in production as an HBO series. Kling lives in Berlin.
Nineteen Eighty-Four meets Vonnegutian slapstick in a free-wheeling
satire spliced with black humour and some gloriously wicked social
commentary.
*GUARDIAN*
This brave new world is revealed in a series of pin-sharp,
unsettling and scathing vignettes... Brilliant satire and a great
read that is currently in production as an HBO TV series.
*DAILY MAIL*
As the carrier for a slew of satirical ideas about the state of our
internet-enabled society, Marc-Uwe Kling's international bestseller
is full of zing from first page to last... a dystopian comic yarn
comparable to Black Mirror, Kurt Vonnegut or Philip K Dick
*THE TIMES*
QUALITYLAND is very funny and very scary - my kind of book.
*Mike Judge, creator of Silicon Valley and King of the Hill*
An amusing skewering of the logical consequences of the world's
increasing efficiency and optimisation.
*NEW SCIENTIST*
The best kind of satire, offering up a funhouse mirror version of
our world that is so smart and so cutting, you have to laugh to
keep from crying.
*Rob Hart, author of THE WAREHOUSE*
An enjoyable romp through an overwrought capitalist dystopia
masquerading as a Utopia.
*LITERARY REVIEW*
Satire reminiscent of Douglas Adams or Rob Grant
*STARBURST*
This is spot-on satire.
*PUBLISHERS WEEKLY*
How much you enjoy this is in direct proportion to how much trouble
you think we're in. Sleep tight.
*KIRKUS REVIEWS*
