3.5 stars.
Japanese detective story wrapped in a science veneer. I liked the way the science issues were explored. There were some translation issues and I think it would have been better to read in the original Japanese.

I really enjoyed this novel! The jargon took a bit to get used to, but the world that was created was intriguing, and plausible, and scary. The concepts of gene mapping, and engineered, "distilled" crops, were super cool, and I liked the fast pace of this novel as well.
Can't wait to read more from this author.

A nice find, a cyberpunk-lite novel that's well thought out and a page turner. Some nice ideas in here and OK characters and it reads well, which is amazing for a translated novel. I can see why it won awards.
