Equal parts dystopia and cyberpunk with a panache of modern-day economic angst, Fluke draws you in and keeps you going to the end. It's a fairly light, short read that I enjoyed.This book could have been much heavier and evolved. The future world, while described in-depth visually, lacked character, personality and soul. It felt like stage-dressing rather than a new reality. Had the author fully developed his vision of this future world, I believe the plight of the protagonist would have had more gravitas.Snow Crash, Ready Player One, etc. it is not. It strives to be in the same vein and does not discredit the genre. Perhaps with time and seasoning future efforts will rank higher.
