While I really enjoyed The Intruder and it's unique take on a splitting of society, I think it tried to push plot twists a little too far at times and focused more on that than the progression of the story. It took a little getting used to, but eventually it just became expected and worked well; just a style that I am not really used to.The plot and how everything interconnects was very well written and thought out; all the pieces to the puzzle are slowly revealed, even ones that you didn't even know existed. Everytime you think you know what is going to happen next, something gets in the way of it happening and the tables are turned. When the hallucinations started to be introduced I was worried that it would fall into a world of disbelief, but the author thought that through as well and it was incorporated into the story slowly and, again, in a very believable way.The technology in the book is well rounded based on where it is currently heading and it's "nefarious" uses sound like today's society advanced. Everything is kept close enough to current reality that it makes sense and is easy to follow. If you like to read about the future of technology or deep government conspiracy and spying on privacy, this might just be the book for you.
