The Red: First Light by Linda Nagata. Very nice near future novel tactical warfare, cyborg soldiers, hacking, ad tech gone crazy, etc.
Zero World by Jason Hough. Started out nice with some speculations about a guilt-free mind-wiped assassin, but turned to crap quickly with a really stupid many worlds interpretation. Don’t bother.
The House of the Scorpion by Nancy Farmer. Yet another YA dystopian novel, tho this at least wasn’t in the games/maze/stupid challenge space. Kind of forgettable tho.
Nemesis by Jo Nesbo. Solid scandinavian mystery, the main character is an appealing misfit.
Very nice near future novel tactical warfare, cyborg soldiers, hacking, ad tech gone crazy, etc.
