Lock In by John Scalzi

4.0

Police procedural in the post pandemic world

This is a fast paced book that is a combination of sci-fi, murder mystery and thriller. The book opens with a murder and an obvious blood-stained suspect. But since it is a complicated world where millions of people are in 'locked- in' condition and hence participate in the world through robots or another special humans called integrators; things are not as they seem.

The world-building is nicely done. Especially after COVID, everyone is aware of the chaos associated with a pandemic. The 2 protagonists are FBI agents and they play the part of partner cops perfectly.

Overall, an engaging and entertaining sci-fi that can be covered over a weekend.
