Red Clocks by Leni Zumas
3.0
3.5*
Calling this book speculative fiction might be overstating it a bit--some of its predictions have already arrived. The world in this book doesn't feel any different than our current world which, on reflection, may make it a little scarier.
The book was assembled skillfully, with effectively deployed repetitions and a completely external plot (the biography that one of the characters is writing) that is--to a degree--interesting, although the point the author is trying to make with it is a bit weak.
Nevertheless, worth a read.
