About this listen

One of The Guardian's best sci-fi books of the year.

An edge-of-your-seat, post-apocalyptic thriller. Perfect for fans of The Last of Us, Station Eleven and The Road, from twice Booker-shortlisted author Tim Winton.

'Will stab your conscience and break your heart’ – Emma Donoghue
'A blistering cli-fi epic' – The Guardian

Survival is only the beginning.

Two fugitives, a man and a child, drive across a stony desert. As dawn breaks, they roll into an abandoned mine site. They’re exhausted, traumatized, desperate now, and this is a forsaken place, but as a refuge it’s the most promising they’ve seen. The child peers at the field of desolation. The man thinks to himself, this could work.

Problem is, they’re not alone . . .

So begins a searing journey through a life where the challenge is not only to survive; it’s keeping your humanity if you do.

Critic reviews

A hold-your-breath adventure set in an utterly plausible, sun-hammered future, Juice will stab your conscience and break your heart (Emma Donoghue)
Some of the most high-octane thriller writing I’ve come across (Luke Kennard, Daily Telegraph)
Like some old-time saga, an oral epic told forward into history (Cynan Jones)
Forget the speculative fictions of melancholic environmental warning: the novel of bloody eco reckoning is here . . . Juice is in part a rare fictional study of revolutionary violence - its mentalities, possibilities and limitations (Tom Seymour Evans, TLS)
I absolutely loved it (Mel Giedroyc, Front Row, BBC Radio 4)
The prose is gorgeous, as you would expect from Winton, and a passion for our beautiful planet – alongside anger at what corporations are doing to it – burns red-hot throughout (The Guardian, Best Books of 2024)
Imagine 1,001 Nights narrated by Max Rockatansky (The Telegraph best fiction books of 2024)
Tim Winton is a deeply humane writer, concerned with moments of connection across divides, with a deep care for nature and an impossibly hopeful desire for humanity to succeed, together (Nikesh Shukla, The Guardian, 'If you only read one book this year . . . make it this one!')
All stars
Most relevant  
A timely, gritty, important story of climate change, A.I., what it means to be human, what the earth means to us, who we are on earth and what we’re doing to our only home, and to each other. The ending is pure poetry. The literary device of telling the story, the backstory to the Bowman works well. It’s all back story, which reflects on the dystopian theme. The narrator does a great job with Tim Winton’s story, he sounds like I imagine the main character would sound.

A timely, gritty, important story
