By Eleanor Catton
Catton pulls off a near miracle. She takes seemingly all the buzzy issues of the day—environmentalism! tech surveillance! identity politics! billionaires!—and converts them into human action and consequence. It makes for a true thriller, relentlessly plotted, turning the screws not just on its characters but on all of us living in its world.
