The Speed of Dark by Elizabeth Moon
5.0
A very nice book combining insights into an autistic person’s mind with questions about the concept of “self”.
By setting the book in the near-future, Moon is able to present a very high-functioning autistic adult, to contrast with the not-as-functioning young protagonist of [b:The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time|1618|The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time |Mark Haddon|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255690510s/1618.jpg|4259809] (which you should read). I enjoyed Moon’s prose and characterisations. Well worth a read.
