I don't often read science fiction. I'm not a huge fan of hard-core science fiction. I like mine to have a lighter tone more grounded in a world I recognise. And therein lies the issue with this book. I liked some of the ideas and the writing style was good. But I felt very disconnected from the book, the characters and their world. The whole concept was a little over my head and I really didn't understand a lot of it. I've read other books by the author and enjoyed them but this wasn't my style.
