I have always liked Martinez' writing and though this is less my sort of thing than his other books, I was well satisfied with it. I liked the viewpoint character and his limitations. I liked that he seemed entirely unaware that he was living in a dystopia. It works both as a hard boiled detective novel and as a piece of SF with the tropes inherent therein. It is not deep and occasionally silly, but I was just fine with that; I wasn't expecting realism anyway.
