Now reading "Newton's wake" by Ken MacLeod. Haven't read too much of it yet, but so far so good. I was previously reading "an inside job" by Daniel Silva, but I put it away. Like I mentioned last week, this series has always been very Israel-centered, but the last two books Silva is clearly ignoring the elephant in the room. He does so by pointing at several European countries. Once I noticed it while reading it, I also noticed the story was severely lacking in depth because of it, characters are very one dimensional and sometimes do very weird things just to get a plot twist going.
