This novel totally took me by surprise. I was compelled by the mix of satire Anam creates about technology and the relatable humanity of the novel right from the start.

It was fast paced, reflective and written with clear foreshadowing narrative that helped drive the plot forward.

The enigmatic Cyrus in this novel is a slow building perfect storm of a disaster waiting to happen and the pacing of this unravelling is absolutely perfect.

I feel like if the end of the novel wasn't brought so up-to-date I would have been able to distend my belief a little more, and thus brought it off-piste for me.

Thanks Netgalley for providing me with a copy of this novel for an honest review.
