Winner of the SciFidea Dyson Sphere Contest and shortlisted for the Andromeda Award, Cage of Stars is the latest from Frasier Armitage, acclaimed author of Time’s Ellipse and A Stitch Between Worlds.

HOW FAR WOULD YOU GO TO BE FREE?

Inside the paradise of a Dyson Sphere, artificial intelligence has been outlawed and hunted. When a robot is dug up at the equator, it will have to flee if it wants to survive.

Told from the different perspectives of the humans and creatures who encounter the machine as it crosses the Sphere to seek refuge at the pole, can one robot’s struggle for freedom change the world?

“CAGE OF STARS hits like a freight-train wrapped in starlight. This is a kaleidoscopic novel that’s both a wild ride and a profound journey—vivid and exhilarating, weird and wonderful.” – Lavanya Lakshminarayan, Arthur C. Clarke Award Finalist and author of The Ten Percent Thief and the Flavor Hacker Series

“CAGE OF STARS brings to mind both questions philosophical and technological, the biological and artificial, nature versus innovation, with an immersive expansiveness that is tightly paced” – Ai Jiang, Nebula award winning author of Linghun, I Am AI, and A Palace Near The Wind

“An incredible journey across, and beneath, the surface of an expansive world. Hugely unique in voice and stunningly written. Who would’ve thought I could care so much about a robot?” – Paige at FanFiAddict
