Alif the Unseen

Alif is an alias for a young man who has it all figured out: how to make money virtually hiding people from the State's vigilance and he has found his dream girl. However, this woman is promised to another man and in return for his heartbreak he gets a book - but this is no ordinary book.

I admit I was a bit put off by the computer stuff and algorithms for profiling people since it is my area of work, but the "unseen world" is amazing. The book gets better and better, and I finished the second half much faster than the first. Dina, Alif, Vikram are great characters and it is hard not to care or to be surprised at each twist. I found the book because I am a Ms Marvel fan, and I was not disappointed - even though they are completely different works of art.
