USER TESTIMONIALS:

'Nineteen Eighty-Four meets Vonnegutian slap stick in a free-wheeling satire spliced with black humour and some gloriously wicked social commentary.'
The Guardian

'QUALITYLAND is very funny and very scary - my kind of book.'
Mike Judge, creator of Silicon Valley & King of the Hill

'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

'This is spot-on satire.'
Publishers Weekly

'Kling's sharp observations expose with delightful brutality how close QualityLand is to reality.'

The dystopian novel of this generation

1984, Fahrenheit 451, brave new world.
This German novel feels like the successor to the classic dystopian novels. A new cynical view of the future with well researched storylines and references.
Recommended especially for those who are averse to big data.

Just one problem with it

The only problem was that I couldn't stop listening to it. Amusing and still starts interesting thoughts.

Outstanding audiobook for a great science fiction novel

The audiobook that got me into audiobooks. Couldn’t recomend it more, the story is great and not only is it funny but also one of the most thought provoking takes on capitalism, consumerism and artificial intelligence that I’ve heard in the last years.

No, that was pap

The hell did this book get so highly recommended for? Unharvested potential, flat plot, underdefined characters and motivation, unused character potentials, the pink dolphin vibrator was never funny, loose threads all over the shop, WHAT WAS THE POINT OF ANY OF THAT?, why was his name John of Us and not Juan Offus or something. I used the audiobook and the English VO was annoying at best and flat/one-noted at worst. I’m left empty and annoyed at the experience and I will check if I can get a refund.
