This brilliant and wholly surprising novel upends everything listeners might expect from crime fiction, delivering psychological suspense, more than a few laughs, and a sensitive look at technology, identity, and memory.
Combining elements of dystopian fiction, psychological suspense, and mystery, this is a wonderfully incisive and intriguing novel that defies genres and invites contemplation. Perfect for book groups.
The dystopia here is a quiet one, as Williams's first adult novel is interested in how people cope in a hypermanaged society. Highly recommended for readers of Dexter Palmer's Version Control and near-future sf. [See Prepub Alert, 12/11/17.]
