The new novel from Canada's top science-fiction writer!
The Downloaded
by Robert J. Sawyer
In 2059 two very different groups have their minds uploaded into a quantum computer in Waterloo, Ontario.
One group consists of astronauts preparing for Earth's first interstellar voyage. The other? Convicted murderers, serving their sentences in a virtual-reality prison.
But when disaster strikes, the astronauts and the prisoners must download back into physical reality and find a way to work together to save Earth from destruction.
Robert J. Sawyer has won both the Hugo and the Nebula Award for best science-fiction novel of the year. The ABC TV series FlashForward was based on his novel of the same name. A member of the Order of Canada, past president of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, and Guest of Honor at the 2023 World Science Fiction Convention, Rob lives just outside Toronto in Mississauga.
The Downloaded debuted in a six-month exclusive window as an Audible Original narrated by Academy Award-winner Brendan Fraser promoted by national TV and radio ad campaigns.
This print edition is coming out immediately after Audible's exclusivity ends and is being supported by a six-city cross-Canada author book tour, book-festival appearances in the US and Canada, and extensive advertising.
“One of the best SF novels I've read in years.”
—Allen Steele, Hugo Award-winning author of Coyote
