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.'

Unique black comedy dystopia
The novel is full of amazing and funny ideas. It touches many contemporary unintentional problems caused by technology in a similar way as Black Mirror.
Sadly, it's a bit too partisan and one sided in its mocking of American right wing. The dumbest jokes and characterizations are caused by this. There's no nuance. Progressives are perfect. Traditional are inbred racist rednecks. Oh, well...

Funny and tongue in cheek. A portrayal of modern society which stings and gives food for thought.

sitcom
It is not science fiction. It is a sitcom. It is full of cheap jokes.
