          <body><![CDATA[The thing about books: Much of the time, the book you decide to read has no marketing push, no clear indication of its target audience until you've invested, at the least, a few dozen pages. Books simply have no trailers. Books often have no (or very few) reviews.

          <body><![CDATA[I for one had never heard of Ted Chiang. I’ve always enjoyed science-fiction and all of its sub-genres, from the space opera to alternate history, but I wasn’t one to seek it out. In fact, as I’d gotten older, science-fiction began to seem less essential to me.

I suppose for the author, John Wray, that might be a luxury when writing from the viewpoint of a paranoid schizophrenic.
