A real joy to read. Once you become accustomed to the complexities of the setting, the pace of the plot begins to compound, drawing you into its complexities. A take on the dystopian genre which delves into a whole range of current peculiarities of modern society. In moments I found the writing was over stylised, but it never was completely perfunctory. A fantastic book to casually read at bedtime until you become invested and have to read it asap.
