Max Barry’s Providence received a glowing review from Book and Film Globe. They write: “[H]idden [within the novel] are the deeper questions of free will, and how much agency any human being is going to have in an age of machines that think faster than we do. In all his books, Barry examines how our creations–corporations, language, machines, and software–rebuild us after we’ve built them.” Additionally, the audio edition of PROVIDENCE was selected as an April Must-Listen book by Apple Books. G.P. Putnam’s Sons published the book on March 31, 2020.
