Titanium Noir by Nick Harkaway
4.5
If you're looking for a sci fi twist on classic noir mystery (and maybe just a smidge less dark), I can highly recommend this one.
A very fast read, the world building dresses up the corners but doesn't let the narrative get bogged down in science talk, the dialogue is snappy, the writing - well, I'm starting to think I'm biased, but I really love the way Harkaway writes: the strong sense of lively characters and relationships in just a few lines, the POV/inner life of the main character, the reality of bad things happening and somehow still holding onto the idea, recognizing that there are good actors. People might have to get their hands dirty, but they truly care for those around them, try to protect those who stumble into harm's way.
I think a non-asshole Titan POV would be a fascinating read, but that would be a very different book....maybe a sequel/companion novel?....🤔🙏🏼
I would also like to shout out Jack Smyth because this cover design ROCKS. 👏🏻
