Why read it?
1 author picked Midnight, Water City as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is a cyberpunk novel, and while most books in that genre focus more on characters like criminals or rebels, this one narrows in on a former police detective and private security contractor. This is one of the few books in the genre that looks at the working stiffs of the cyberpunk future, instead of the punks with mohawks & machine guns or the corporate suits with their android bodyguards and elegant penthouses.
From Sean-Michael's list on blue collar sci-fi and horror.
