The Million

A short book with some interesting ideas and some fun mysteries, set in the same future as the excellent book [b:Lockstep 17910135 Lockstep Karl Schroeder https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1374762041l/17910135.SX50.jpg 25095591]. While I enjoyed this book, it felt very much like the first few chapters of a much longer book (say four or five times). Big mysteries were hinted at but very little was resolved. I expect (and hope) that this is the start of a series, but I feel that this book would have been much better if we has continued to follow these characters and their investigations in this volume as the ending was not satisfying at all.
