The Municipalists

Strange for a book to feel so wordy but yet so slim. This didn't quite work for me - pulling towards the edges of nihilism in both directions of the Good Guys and the Villains, and doesn't do a great job of threading the space between or presenting an idea of what would fill that space.

I can see this being adapted into a successful and entertaining television show - the semi-rogue AI, the 60s suit-and-tie detective vibe - especially if the nebbish protagonist is played as the straight man foil the writing strives to make him here.
