A Utopian /dystopian work, David Wingrove (in The Science Fiction Source Book) called these novels 'extraordinarily erudite' and Peter Nicholls (in The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction) wrote that the Tcity "books are ambitious in scope and deserve to be more widely known." Multiple themes, including, automation, the media landscape, revolution, leisure, class distinction, and sex are covered in a fascinating and original way.

But when a high-ranking executive investigates, she finds the motivations of the citizens strange and complex. A man works only to drown the hideous memories that crowd his brain; another looks for solace with the inventive aphrodollies. A clerk forms a burning obsession for doorhandles; an old woman constantly relives her bizarre erotic experiences. And all the while, the twisted purposes of the citizens are mirrored by the opulent but sterile lives of the executives, seeking to reconcile their rich and cultured lives with their failure to create:- (original cost £0.75).
