Review: Near future not-quite sci fi, wonderfully told story

Real Powers takes place in 2027. Wright does a wonderful job of describing the world as it could be while making it believable. He describes a fair amount of technology in the story, but does it in such a way that anyone can understand it.The story is told from 6 different character's point of views, in 3 parts. Each character has 1 chapter in each section. It was very interesting to learn how the characters all tied together as the story progressed, some linked directly, some indirectly, but all being affected by the others in some way. I also love the News Brief that is between each chapter, a skillful way of giving the reader a picture of what life in the story's world looks like. Some tie directly to the story while others don't, but all provide great insight in a smooth manner.This is the first in a series, and I can't wait to read more!
