4.0

Quite an intriguing mystery story, set in a near future when all people daily check an app calculating statistical probabilities for a number of events and outcomes for their day, including the (usually close to zero) chance of their death before the end of the day. After a murder, unexpectedly, a number of people tightly and loosely connected to the event get a near 100% probability of dying by the end of the day. The connections to each other, to the victim, and to the suspects for the murder are slowly unveiled in a series of plot twists and flashbacks, as each day slowly but steadily unfolds and death is still looming, according to the app.... I especially loved the clever tech ideas , not just the anxiety-inducing prediction app, but the new AI tech for the fashion industry, the software calculating the more probable murderer, etc. I keep looking forward to more novels by this author.
