"A harrowing, brilliant, and troublingly plausible vision of the future." -- Emily St. John Mandel, author of Station Eleven
"Gripping.... Few readers will stop until they reach its final page." -- Alec Nevala-Lee - New York Times Book Review
"It's not clear what it will take to finally convince us that it's time to panic about climate change, but works of fiction such as The Wall have an important role to play." -- Stephen Dyson - Washington Post
"A novel that ranks alongside Margaret Atwood's Oryx and Crake and the oeuvre of Kim Stanley Robinson as a fictional meditation on what climate change may mean for the planet." -- Tom Holland - Guardian
"A powerful thought experiment." -- Giles Harvey - New York Review of Books
"An unsettling, compulsive and brilliant portrait of powerlessness." -- John Day - Financial Times
"Bold and confident fiction that highlights the current American and British issues of Trumpism and Brexit. It also examines the increasingly wide social and political divide of the young and the old." -- Ant Jones - Los Angeles Times
"As in all good dystopian fiction, Lanchester shows us a world that could become a reality... [He] maintains measured, elegant prose-creating an assuredly human dystopian novel." -- Lucas Wittmann - Time
"Highly relevant." -- Ron Charles - Washington Post
