A dazzling slice of near-future scifi, Maughn, like William Gibson, bases his stories in the very next moment of our present, making them more relevant and resonant than its far-future cousins.

Of the three stories featured I would put the titular "Paintwork" as my favourite, perhaps purely because as a non-gamer I found it easier to connect with a story whose plot was based around graffiti artists rather than online gaming. With that said "Havana Augmented" was brilliantly realised and described - I could easily see a movie coming out of that one.

A shining and energetic voice, can't wait for what's next...
