This week I've mainly been reading, no. 207.
Lavanya Lakshminarayan's dystopian SciFi novel The Ten Percent Thief (2023) is set in a future aversion of Bangalore, now Apex, where society has been stratified by algorithms. Told in a series of vignettes, the mosaic structure reveals the working of the new society & the strategy of the political resistance. Its a great read & once you get used the structure a highly convincing if frightening version of the future.
