“Thought-provoking SF delivered in an intriguingly panoramic form.”
KIRKUS REVIEWS

“Doyle has hit on something rare: an original approach to climate fiction.”
BOOKLIFE REVIEWS

“Gripping, revealing, and frightening.”
MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW

"The contrast between notes and experiences of those who navigate this world are exceptionally well done, and will lend to book club discussions and sci-fi reader delight. Libraries and readers seeking a futuristic exploration which examines sleepers of the world and the social and political truths and realities that underlie their motivations will find Hibernaculum replete with a growing horror of realization that awakens, at the end, into a nightmare of manipulation and truth. It will leave readers thinking long after the story's final startling revelations."
DONOVAN'S BOOKSHELF

In an imploding world, time is money, time is trouble, and time is risk. For those who can neither afford or bear to exist 24/7, 365 days a year, time is also a solution.

In Anthony Doyle’s startling debut novel, you’ll step into a world where global voluntary hibernation facilities provide a way out, a chance to step off the status quo carousel. Hibernaculum takes you into the before, during, and after of this strange new process and posits the question: Do things really look better after a good, long sleep?

A compelling, unsettling glimpse into the world of tomorrow.
