Why read it?
1 author picked Rim City Blues as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love how this book takes a protagonist steeped in noir tropes and drops him into a shattered world that doesn’t seem to understand him. He’s a trench coat and a fedora in a ruined sci-fi world of technology and crime. This isn’t the deepest read on the list, but it’s a ton of fun and does some interesting things to subvert the sci-fi noir tropes.
From Anthony's list on morally complex sci-fi noir books.
