『The Jubilee Cycle』三部作の第一作『Cash Crash Jubilee』
瞬きから歩くことに至るまで、人間の全ての行為が企業の所有する知的財産となり、誰が何をするにも使用料がかかってしまう近未来の東京。
剣崎亜文は『リクイデーター 』を職業にしている。破産した国民を逮捕し、ネットワークに生涯接続できないように体に埋め込まれたコンピュータを摘出、流刑。『Cash Crash』するのが仕事だ。
着実に出世階段を上る亜文は、夢にたびたび現れる不思議な森へ行くための資金がやっと手に入るだろうと思っていた。
しかし、行ったはずもない『Jubilee』という謎の行為が明細表に記載され、その法外な値段が引き落とされてしまうと、これまで自分の全てを捧げてきた社会へ危険な問いを投げかけ始める。
現実感に満ちた近未来を鮮烈に描いたEli K.P. Williamのデビュー作。

レビュー（Cash Crash Jubilee）
サイバーパンクと日本的な風景は、ギブソンやブレードランナーを引き合いに出すまでもなく、本作においてもとてもよくマッチしているように感じる。
—SFマガジン （2015年10月号）
“Debut novelist William reverses the outsider perspective of cyberpunk in this intricate tale of a digitally claustrophobic future.”
—Publishers Weekly
“As entertaining as the works by American-Canadian science fiction giant William Gibson.”
—Japan Times
“Cash Crash Jubilee is a fun, smart read, a great way to start a trilogy of novels.”
—Amazing Stories
“Cash Crash Jubilee is the first book in a trilogy that promises to be a notable contribution to a long and distinguished tradition.”
—Peter Tasker, Japan financial guru and author of Dragon Dance
“Cash Crash Jubilee is utterly fascinating, from cover to cover… a trove of insanity and wonder, all in one place.”
—BiblioSanctum
“The defining dystopia for our time.”
—Barnes & Noble Sci Fi & Fantasy Blog
“Eli K. P. William’s book is prophetic and chilling in the best of ways, darkly sardonic yet filled with compassion.”
—Gordon Dahlquist, author of The Glass Book of the Dream Eaters
“Cash Crash Jubilee is a roller-coaster ride of action and political speculation, all set against a vivid urban backdrop lit by total corporate domination of human life. Writing in the tradition of Dick and Gibson, Eli K. P. William leverages the details of near-future dystopian Tokyo to superb critical effect. A terrific debut!”
—Mark Kingwell, author of Concrete Reveries and The World We Want
“What is truly phenomenal about Cash Crash Jubilee, and what has held my attention, is the world building. Everything is explained, described, or illustrated in a way that makes sure the reader is never confused, but that also doesn’t hinder the development of the plot in any way. It’s an action-packed techno thriller. And after reading it, I’ll never take something as simple as staring up at the night sky for granted again.”
—BookRiot
“Combines 1984’s brutal totalitarianism and Brave New World’s seductive consumerism. Its premise is both horrifying and ridiculous. Is it a satire or a thriller? It works brilliantly as either.”
—John Love, author of Faith and Evensong
“A one-way bullet train into a bizarre but chillingly plausible future. A brilliant debut!”
—Jesse Bullington, author of The Sad Tale of the Brothers Grossbart and The Folly of the World
“A stunning debut novel, a glorious and disturbing view of a strange new world that could easily become our new world. Fans of Neal Stephenson and William Gibson will find much to enjoy in Cash Crash Jubilee.”
—Wayne Arthurson, author of Fall From Grace and A Killing Winter
“Cash Crash Jubilee is a story that deserves your undivided attention.”
—Scifi Gazette
“Once you start down this road of corruption, consumerism and intrigue; you won’t stop until you hit the finish line.”
—Science Fiction Book Club
レビュー（The Naked World）
“A riveting read from cover to cover, The Naked World demonstrates Eli William as having a genuine flair for originality and imaginative, narrative driven storytelling of the first order.”
—The Midwest Book Review
“A worthy second novel in a trilogy, and made me eager to read the final book.”
—Amazing Stories
“While a completely original work, characters in ‘The Naked World’ — part two of the ‘Jubilee Cycle’ trilogy — face predicaments evocative of works by Jonathan Swift, Aldous Huxley, Philip K. Dick, George Orwell and Stephen King.”
—The Japan Times
“The sequel to Cash Crash Jubilee returns to a world pulled straight from the best episode of Black Mirror never made.”
—B&N Sci-Fi and Fantasy Blog
