Loved this book. More urban science fiction than urban fantasy.The Dresden Files are great. 'They Tell Me I'm The Bad Guy' is sometimes darker, faster and occasionally much crazier.No werewolves, vampires, wizards, etc. These characters are 'post humans'. The apparent 'next step' in humans. They have a variety of random abilities and powers.Some can communicate with dogs. The main character can set you on fire instantly by just thinking it. Other characters have more disturbing abilities. Many have extensive criminal histories. And the government is getting very interested in them.Hard edged stuff with many rough characters. They smoke, drink, get high and usually have 'mental health' issues. By the end of the novel the nature of reality itself is questioned.Hopefully this will be the first of many books in what becomes a series.This book is absolutely a movie waiting to be made.
