Market Forces by Richard K. Morgan
3.0
Market Forces takes place in a ridiculous near future where investment banking executives control the fate of third world revolutions...and also duel to the death on the highways of England. (Ok, so the IBank stuff is far more plausible.) The story follows the adventures of a young executive named Chris, who I disliked within the first 20 pages, and who became less likable (although occasionally more sympathetic) as the book progressed. In fact, I found most of the characters repulsive.
That said, author Richard K. Morgan explores the ideas of unfettered capitalism and unhinged morals, and what that might look like for society and for the ultimately unlucky executives that rule it. It's a tribute to Morgan's writing and ideas that I kept reading despite the characters' irredeemable douchery.
