Apex Reviews had this to say about Pink Noise: A Posthuman Tale: Utterly mind-bending, Pink Noise is nothing if not imaginative. […] you are sure to finish his spiritually-winding tale emotionally exhausted – yet strangely intrigued by the nascent enlightenment you somehow now possess.

Jennifer Walker reviews Pink Noise: A Posthuman Tale on her blog A Cup Of Coffee And A Good Book: Leonid Korogodski’s Pink Noise is an exciting and imaginative voyage far into the future, showing us where our future very well may go many hundreds of years from now. A hard core science fiction, this book is not for the faint of heart or casual reader–there is some disturbing violence, although limited, and the language is heavily laden with physics and science terms that sometimes makes it hard to follow for those who are not used to it. However, the story…
There is a simple solution to the Fermi Paradox. As discovered by Ilya Prigogine, open complex non-linear systems far from equilibrium statistically tend to decrease their entropy. This phenomenon is also known under other names: emergent properties, self-organizing criticality, exotropy, to name a few. This is a generalization of evolution. This is what keeps the universe from the so-called “heat death.” This is the source of complexity in the universe, from the formation of galaxies to stars in galaxies, to planets around stars, to geological processes in rocky planets, to life on at least one planet but obviously not all,…
Hi. For the new visitors, allow me to introduce myself. I’m Rina, a character from Leonid Korogodski’s science fiction novella Pink Noise: A Posthuman Tale, blogging from the 31st century. Recently, going through some old archives from the early 21st century, our software archaeologists discovered a post by Charles Stross called The Hard Edge of Empire. It took a while, as software archaeology goes, but I don’t think it’s too late for me to bring it up. The barrage of contemporary response was also discovered together with the original post, which however failed to notice the irony that, being anti-totalitarian…
Grace Krispy reviewed the ebook version of Pink Noise on MotherLode: This book was a whirlwind adventure. There was something fluid and hypnotic about the phrasing in this story, making me feel very much like a futuristic Alice who had just fallen down the rabbit hole into a whole new world. Every time I thought I might have gotten a grip on reality, a new surprise threw me, once again, into another conversation with the Mad Hatter, making me question my own understanding of reality.

Chris Phillips reviews Pink Noise at BestsellersWorld.com: “Pink Noise” is highly recommended. The jargon does not detract from the story, but serves to enhance both plot and character development. Korogodski is a master wordsmith who uses unexpected plot twists and innuendo to good effect throughout the book. This is an enjoyable read for anyone interested in speculative science fiction and also black and white graphic art.
