The mix of high-tech espionage and gritty detective work creates a unique atmosphere. I'm curious whether this genre mashup was planned from the start or evolved during writing.

The story jumps between characters and viewpoints, which kept me guessing but also sometimes confused me. What’s the general consensus on this narrative style in tech thrillers?

The setting felt so vivid and plausible, almost like a real place. I wonder whether the author based it on current trends or created a completely imagined future.
