The Ten Percent Thief is an Arthur C. Clarke Award nominee!

We’re thrilled to see The Ten Percent Thief by Lavanya Lakshminarayan on the 2024 Arthur C. Clarke Award shortlist!

The winner will be announced at a ceremony on 24th July 2024 and you can check out the full shortlist here.

Set in a futuristic Bangalore known as Apex City, where a person’s rights are dictated by their usefulness to society, The Ten Percent Thief is a fresh, dystopian mosaic novel following the city’s inhabitants from across the social spectrum—and the rebellion that’s brewing underneath it all…

For fans of Red Rising and Poster Girl, The Ten Percent Thief is out now in paperback, and Lavanya’s brand new novel, Interstellar MegaChef, is available to preorder!

Nothing has happened. Not yet, anyway. This is how all things begin.

Welcome to Apex City, formerly Bangalore, where everything is decided by the mathematically perfect Bell Curve.

With the right image, values and opinions, you can ascend to the glittering heights of the Twenty Percent – the Virtual elite – and have the world at your feet. Otherwise you risk falling to the precarious Ten Percent, and deportation to the ranks of the Analogs, with no access to electricity, running water or even humanity.

The system has no flaws. Until the elusive “Ten Percent Thief” steals a single jacaranda seed from the Virtual city and plants a revolution in the barren soil of the Analog world.

Previously published in South Asia only as Analog/Virtual, The Ten Percent Thief is a striking debut by a ferocious new talent.
