A compelling look at a possible near-future dystopia battered by climate change and intrusive tech. Despite the dark premise, the book is hopeful about humanity's future, affirming that humans will generally choose to help each other even when living on the edge of societal collapse. 

The plot delivers on the thriller elements very well. I was constantly looking forward to finding the next piece of the puzzle, and the answers to the mystery were stringed out in a satisfying manner.
