The Light Brigade by Kameron Hurley

4.0

Despite not having a huge draw to military based sci-fi in the past, I read this book with a growing fascination. It took me a bit to figure out what was going on, but I was fascinated when it finally started making sense. Imagine being able to ship a military force across long distances by breaking them into light and consolidating them at their point of arrival -- sort of like a transporter from Star Trek, I suppose. But with the ability to move people at the speed of light, dangers are bound to arise.

I feel the book is a warning against letting corporations have such a huge role in our lives, which is a trope I've seen elsewhere, and one with which I tend to agree strongly.
