The Dervish House by Ian McDonald
5.0
Absolutely stunningly written book.
It is also a book that is now a piece of hauntology. It is a reminder of a future, as imperfect as it is, that is lost.
It was written in 2010 and I don't think this is a book that could have been written many years later as Turkey's lurch towards illiberalism and autocracy undermined the possible future of the book.
