5.0

Bit weird feeling to be reading a cop book considering what is going on in June 2020, but there's a enough in this 2016 book that feels very topical to the here and now that I ate it up in a couple of days. Gritty grim dark near future crime noir, definitely more a social critique than escapism. To be honest like most books I give five stars, I'd prefer to award 4.5, but that isn't an option here. Solid genre conforming cyberpunk done well enough to make me think carefully about my interactions with technology and the effect it has on society.

Oh and Born Against were one of my favourite bands so totally biased.
