So glad I read the bone clocks before this, because I'd have been so disappointed if I'd read that second. This was just so incredibly well crafted, and somehow manages to be a sort of philosophy-lite without ever feeling like it's trying to teach you something. Also many points where I caught onto some aspect of the story and almost fell out of my seat which is always a bonus.
