I don't know if I'll make it through this one. Neither scifi nor detective fiction are genres I typically read and this is both. I don't like the hamfisted way scifi has to worldbuild, out of place sentences teaching the reader the laws of the world, awkward madeup terms, it's very hard to do naturally. The actual idea & terms (crosshatching, alterity) are kind of cool here but I'm still not loving it.
