Automated Alice is a fantastical book by
Jeff Noon, first published in 1996. Noon describes it as a "trequel" - it is a companion piece of sorts to the famous
Lewis Carroll books,
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and
Through the Looking-Glass. It follows Alice's travel to a future version of the city of
Manchester (which also features in most of his other works) populated by
Newmonians[?],
Civil Serpents[?] and a vanishing cat.
