Inverted World

This was surprisingly excellent. It starts of as more of a coming of age story with a dystopian/sci-fi setting, but as it goes on it becomes more of a typical golden age of sci-fi big-idea concept novel, until it changes again into more of a philosophical work. Really masterfully written.

This has everything I could ever want in a sci-fi book. Immersive worldbuilding, perfect pacing, truly imaginative ideas, and themes that can (with some thinking) easily be translated to the real world. Highly recommend it!
