From the Publisher

Endorsement from Jonathan Lethem, acclaimed novelist

“A mindblowing dispatch from a realm of neurodiverse posthumanity, For the Love of the Cosmos gathers up echoes of Olaf Stapledon’s Sirius, Hayao Miyazaki’s Nausicaä, and Raphael Carter’s great lost tale of the universal network, The Fortunate Fall. The mode is the ‘tragicosmic,’ and Bishop loads it with surprises – unforgettable chase sequences, death scenes, and confessions.”

Endorsement from Joel Brouwer, acclaimed poet

"Graham L. Bishop’s For the Love of the Cosmos is an enchanting science fiction opus in the greatest intellectual traditions of the genre, in addition to being wildly entertaining, charming, and frequently hilarious. The novel’s engagement with themes of transhumanism, gender and sexuality, the promises and perils of artificial intelligence, the dangers of environmental degradation, and much more is terrifically smart and always fascinating. As moving as it is insightful, bishop’s novel immerses us in a frightening but beautiful world that seems on reflection perhaps not so very different from our own.”

Endorsement from Kellie Wells, acclaimed novelist

"In For the Love of the Cosmos, Graham L. Bishop imagines, with compelling urgency, an apocalyptic world (can there ever really be a “post-” to an apocalypse, asks the novel, once it gets good and rolling and the stakes become intragalactic?) in which a device that enables interspecies telepathic communication is the latest technological advancement. Will this prove redemptive for humans and make for a more thoughtful and cooperative relationship with other species, or will it simply hasten the march toward a world order that is irredeemably corrupt? The real magic trick of this novel is Bishop’s ability to inhabit animal consciousness in a way that is empathic but also familiar, so that the reader becomes deeply invested in the non-human animals’ conflicts and recognizes in them a complicated truth at the heart of human nature. A gripping novel whose pages you won’t be able to turn fast enough."
