Good news, everyone!
Just finished reading …
Recommended by a friend that knew I was myself writing a sci-fi. One of the few times I actually bothered with the audio version; I usually find the readers going to slow. I understand that listening to a book is a completely different approach and therefore a different experience so I didn’t just want to dismiss it solely based on the format.
On the whole I liked it. A bit too technical for my taste, definitely closer to the “hard sci-fi” tradition although such definitions are always oversimplifying. Think I would’ve liked the book better if I had read it at the age of 12 … which makes sense considering how old the protagonist is.

Borgen (“The Castle,” a nickname for Christiansborg, the Copenhagen parliament building) depicts the trials of a new prime minister, her squabbling coalition government, and an aggressive, scandal-hungry news media. A quarter of the nation watches the program each week, and Helle Thorning-Schmidt, the country’s actual prime minster, is said to be an obsessive fan. Borgen is more than a sensation; it is a kind of parallel government.
