It is a little hard to understand what ''Place'' is; cyberpunk, crime, space thriller. It is all of these at once. The grungy world that Brookmyre creates feels like something of tomorrow, but you can also see the cities of today in it. If the first act of the book had been integrated better into the narrative, this would have been a must-read science-fiction book for those who like their tales a little pulpy. As it stands, some people may not get past the intense start.
Want to really go down the rabbit hole of debauched future worlds, check out the excellent [[Koko Takes a Holiday by Kieran Shea]]. Teens might enjoy [[Ascension by Victor Dixen]]. You might also enjoy [[Bedlam by Christopher Brookmyre]] or [[Tracer by Rob Boffard]]. For a thriller from Brookmyre, try [[The Cliff House by Chris Brookmyre|The Cliff House]].
