I picked up Glitter, because I love sci-fi that blends real world disasters with bigger "what if" scenarios. I did really enjoy the book and I liked that it was inspired by an actual Russian dam accident. I learned a lot about the fragility of our power grids and how interconnected everything is, plus some eye-opening bits on AI evolution and historical nods to philosophy.
It's a tense, high-stakes book throughout and it kept me up reading way too late. The writing is translated from Serbian, which I think makes it sound raw and philosophical without being pretentious. It dives deep into human flaws, tech ethics, and what it means to be alive in a way that feels fresh. I also loved how the main character is not some flawless hero; he's got regrets and a quiet strength that makes him relatable, like that uncle who's always fixing stuff but has deep thoughts over vodka.
It made me rethink AI’s unchecked growth and infrastructure security, especially with today’s tech pace—would definitely recommend!
