The sci-fi is really good. The world is really well designed and created but it's hectic it's a 18+ not for sensitive readers.

A great mash up of hard boiled detective and science fiction, set in a future where human minds are digitised and can be uploaded to different bodies. The book is well written and full of great ideas. Be warned; it does contain an unpleasant torture scene
