Editorial Reviews

"Greenberg’s talent to create a futuristic story that one could easily see becoming a reality is wonderful. For those who enjoy police procedures and close-to-home science fiction, this is an enjoyable way to spend one’s evening and contemplate some of society’s questions as to what type of technology is best for us."  -SciFiMoviePage

"Dark twists lurk around every corner, with tension building as Greenberg unfurls a world at once horrifying to imagine and too close to home. The familiar siren song of technological advancement floats from the pages, beckoning with promises of satiated longings, but the grass isn’t always greener—especially in Green Valley.+ - Foreword magazine (Indie Book of the Year Award)

"Louis Greenberg’s Green Valley asks what’s more valuable: freedom or peace?" - BookPage

“Greenberg’s creation of two societies living in opposite extremes plays with the themes of control and consequence. This is a vivid, if not appalling, world where the almighty illusion, whether it be living with technology or not, fails us even as it comforts. With several painfully accurate insights of how people work to find validation and how we justify our actions, Greenberg has woven an engrossing tale…Greenberg’s talent to create a futuristic story that one could easily see becoming a reality is wonderful. For those who enjoy police procedures and close-to-home science fiction, this is an enjoyable way to spend one’s evening and contemplate some of society’s questions as to what type of technology is best for us.” SciFiMoviePage

"Green Valley depicts a society that has voted to ban all forms of invasive digital technology for fear of becoming a surveillance state." Kirkus Reviews (Book of the Month) 

"The taut technological mystery keeps readers on edge to the very end." - Publishers Weekly
