Phillips is a wonderful writer, his prose limpid and exact, and this is a deep and stimulating book * Sunday Times *
Intriguing and radical questions about the vital information strong responses and desires provide, and how we might use this to identify what we want * Guardian *
His writing is a lively source of provocation, repetition, self-renewal. * Scotsman *
Reading Phillips, you may be amused, vexed, dazzled. But the one thing you will never be is bored
He's brilliant
