"A near-future, post-pandemic novel of lost lives and liberties, The Potrero Complex speaks directly to the challenges of contemporary life. Amy Bernstein has written a scarily prescient novel that deftly explores the fraught connections between individuality, society, public policy, and technology." --Courtney Harler, Harler Literary LLC
"Bernstein sets us in a post-pandemic time just the barest bit beyond our own, on the way to a dystopia that feels too frightening and too familiar. A thoughtful, complex, well-executed novel--not a who-done-it? but a much scarier what-in-the-hell-is-happening?" --Robert Kanigel, bestselling author of The Man Who Knew Infinity and National Book Critics Circle award finalist
"An emotional, haunting tale leaves you with more questions than answers, and that's a good thing. A memorable and timely reminder that there are no easy solutions when fear and conspiracy feed like hungry beasts and the innocent exist simply for the taking." --PJ McIlvaine, screenwriter of My Horrible Year
"An intelligently conceived tale of an unthinkable yet credible future. A novel of dark deeds in dark times." --Karen S. Bennett, author of Beautiful Horse
"Richly textured, with many evocative threads [that] explore the culture of a post-pandemic small town--a town that camouflages its disturbing secrets. A cautionary tale." --Kathy Mangan, Professor Emeritus, McDaniel College, and author of Taproot
"A complicated tale of post-pandemic times in the not-so-distant future, where share cars, data phones, and respies figure into a plot that is scarily believable." --Avery Caswell, author of Salvation
