Praise for Samit Basu and The City Inside: "Basu's evocative and thrilling novel explores with warmth and snark a future Delhi. The City Inside feels like a lost season of Black Mirror . "-- The Washington Post , Charlie Jane Anders "One of the most horrifyingly plausible near futures I have ever read. It's also funny, relatable, supremely clever, and deeply political . Highly recommended."--Kate Elliott, New York Times bestselling author " The most terrifying dystopian I've read in a long while, because it's so plausible . Can't recommend enough."--Tasha Suri, award-winning author of The Jasmine Throne "To say it hits home is an understatement. . . . Brilliantly written, structurally inventive, completely immersive. "--KJ Charles, author of The Magpie Lord " An instant classic "--Indra Das, author of The Devourers " As compelling as it is urgent. Don't miss this one."--Lavie Tidhar, World Fantasy Award-winning author " SF at its best--fizzing with ideas, entertaining, revelatory, and humane ." --Zen Cho, author of Black Water Sister "Basu's chief strengths as a novelist are character development, lively dialogue and a pleasingly off-kilter sense of humour ."-- Vogue India " A complex achievement in world-building ."-- BookBub " At once claustrophobic and brimming with possibility ."-- The Philadelphia Inquirer "There's a chilling effect to Basu's new near-future sf epic... Readers will empathize with Joey's dilemma... The novel's theme, that the truth does not and cannot set anyone free, is as disturbing as it is thought-provoking."-- Library Journal " The reader's immersion into their world is truly felt ."-- Booklist "The insightful plot thoroughly probes the political and social consequences of life increasingly lived within virtual reality."-- Publishers Weekly " We need more books like this ... books that rail, through the prism of science fiction, against populism, racism and oppression, books that confirm that the problems we face are global, not local."-- Locus "[Basu] is certainly having tremendous fun... his portrayal of the relationships between characters is masterfully sensitive to detail ."-- India Today, A "Best Of" pick in BookBub Lit Hub Book Riot The Mary Sue Highly anticipated in Library Journal Goodreads io9 Smart Bitches, Trashy Books Tor.com We Are Bookish The Portalist Praise for The Jinn-Bot of Shantiport "Somehow manages to be both a weighty study of the responsible use of power and a sidesplitting farce about robot fighters, gangsters, oligarchs and the titular jinn-bot."- The Washington Post " So much fun! "-Ann Leckie, New York Times bestselling author and winner of the Hugo, Nebula, and Arthur C. Clarke Awards " Ridiculously entertaining. "--Kate Elliott, New York Times bestselling author "''Aladdin'' like you''ve never seen it before. Samit Basu deftly weaves a tale that sparkles with the wondrous and wild possibilities of ''Aladdin'' in space . This is a wild, funny, and exhilarating adventure with a huge heart ."--Tasha Suri, award-winning author of The Jasmine Throne "Wonderfully entertaining--a heady and creative mix of excellent stories. The best of ''Aladdin'' and Murderbot meet in Samit''s top-tier storyteller''s craft . Inventive, with witty dialogue, and utterly fun! All the heart of myths and the explorative commentary of sci-fi are masterfully shaped together in The Jinn-bot of Shantiport ."--R.R. Virdi, USA Today bestselling author "A wildly exuberant mash-up of top-class storytelling, gleeful mockery, and engaging characters we care desperately about . Basu is playing with tropes and messing about with narrative, while at the same time telling a heartfelt story with high stakes and enthralling action. The most fun I have had with SF in ages. "--KJ Charles, author of The Magpie Lord " An extravagant, expansive, inventive epic of a book, shifting modes deftly to set heroes of lore on a collision course with video game tropes --and I enjoyed every word of the resulting fireworks. Brainy, deeply felt, and entirely brilliant."--Malka Older, author of The Mimicking of Known Successes " Samit Basu is one of the smartest, most entertaining writers working in SF today -- this was an utter delight from first to last, fizzing with ideas and originality."--Zen Cho, author of Black Water Sister "A finalist for this fall''s unofficial Best Book Title contest, The Jinn-Bot of Shantiport is the latest from Indian SFF specialist Samit Basu, who treats standard sci-fi tropes as dubious advice, best ignored . Mixing futurism and fantasy, his new book features streetwise protagonists, corrupt oligarchs, wry satire, and wish-granting tech. Oh, and monkeybots."-- Goodreads " '' Aladdin in space'' is already an excellent elevator pitch for Samit Basu''s standalone novel, but he looks to be exploring every angle of the familiar story in this adventure set on a collapsing spaceport."-- Lit Hub " ''Aladdin'' meets Murderbot is all we needed to hear to add Samit Basu''s science fiction novel--about a girl and her monkey bot brother asked to procure a reality-bending artifact--to our TBRs!"-- We Are Bookish : Presented by NetGalley "Just f***ing delightful from start to finish."-- Tor.com "[An] action-packed frolic . . . Basu''s sharp social commentary and sense of pageantry enhance this wild romp. Readers will have no choice but to get caught in the whirlwind ."-- Publishers Weekly "Samit Basu mixes elements of the story of Aladdin with the political machinations on a corrupt spaceport ."-- Library Journal "[A] fantastic, futuristic take on the "Aladdin" story"-- Booklist "From cinematic mecha fights to an aching romance set in the background of a city falling apart and all spiced with a healthy dose of humor , reading The Jinn-Bot of Shantiport was an incredibly fun experience."-- Bookish Brews Selected praise for Samit Basu and The City Inside "Basu''s chief strengths as a novelist are character development, lively dialogue and a pleasingly off-kilter sense of humour ."-- Vogue India " An instant classic "--Indra Das, author of The Devourers, Highly anticipated in BookBub Library Journal Goodreads Tor.com We Are Bookish The Portalist The Fantasy Review SFF Yeah!

Synopsis
A 2024 Locus Award Finalist! A 2024 Dragon Award Finalist! A "Best Of" pick in BookBub Lit Hub Book Riot The Mary Sue "So much fun!"-Ann Leckie, New York Times bestselling author From international bestseller Samit Basu, The Jinn-Bot of Shantiport is an exuberant new sci-fi adventure with heart that reads like a mash-up of " Aladdin " and Murderbot -- with gloriously chaotic results Shantiport was supposed to be a gateway to the stars. But the city is sinking, and its colonist rulers aren't helping anyone but themselves. Lina, a daughter of failed revolutionaries, has no desire to escape Shantiport. She loves her city and would do anything to save its people. This is, in fact, the plan for her life, made before she was even born. Her brother, Bador, is a small monkey bot with a big attitude and bigger ambitions. He wants a chance to leave this dead-end planet and explore the universe on his own terms. But that would mean abandoning the family he loves--even if they do take him for granted. When Shantiport's resident tech billionaire coerces Lina into retrieving a powerful artifact rumored to be able to reshape reality, forces from before their time begin coalescing around the siblings. And when you throw in a piece of sentient, off-world tech with the ability to grant three wishes into the mix... None of the city's powers will know what hit them. Also by Samit Basu The City Inside
