The Quantum Thief— Hannu Rajaniemi
Ooh, a new trilogy to dive into. I had a pretty hard time understanding a lot of the technology terms Rajaniemi made up, but by the end I’d gotten used to them enough that I could just enjoy the story. This book was nowhere near as confusing as Ninefox Gambit, but definitely required a bit more investment than many mainstream sci-fi tomes.
Company Town— Madeline Ashby
A cool take on post-climate-collapse sci-fi, with a complicated badass protagonist. A good escape read for the holidays.
