The Android's Dream

Not a cyberpunk, despite the title. Not really scifi either, but an action thriller with a (way too) large cast of one-dimensional cardboard characters and way too many deus ex machina and coincidences. Fun for about half, but bogging down towards 2/3. Not nearly Old Men War level - and I don't consider that a masterpiece...

This book confirmed my suspicions about the author's obsession with the sense of smell. From the title, I had the question “Do androids dream of electric sheep?” in my head from another book, but that has very little to do with this story. I enjoyed the twists, mystery, aliens and future as told by John Scalzi. Although, I'm not sure a future with lab-grown meats is ideal.
