Artifice: A Novel by Simon Chesterman

5.0

Having just returned from my first trip to Singapore in 10 years, how much the city has changed really struck me. This book took that feeling a step further by portraying the city as it may be in the near future facing uncontrolled climate change, an automated service sector, and the potential of true artificial intelligence.

I recommend this book to fans of speculative science fiction, dystopias, and books that read like movies. The narrative of this book flows from a single moment, but the twists and turns of the book add excitement to the concept of time, reality, self-perception, and what it means to be human.
