An exceptional novel, which works equally well as a beach read or thoughtfully pondered. Chess executes her premise and plot magnificently, and it holds a brilliant and effective mirror up to the reader, forcing us to consider our own world through different eyes. Equally, it is a compelling thriller, science-fiction story, and character tale. Highly recommend this book, if I had the time, I could've devoured it in one sitting.
