Reviews 

“A cheeky space-time odyssey that begins in a Brighton job centre and takes you on a rollicking musical journey through astronomy, physics and philosophy – pausing only to smile and wonder at the history of the world and the future of artificial intelligence. Are we doomed by our inventions or are they our salvation?”Ben Bailey, Source Magazine
