Neom, by Lavie Tidhar (brief note)
Second paragraph of third chapter:

His dreams were filled with stars: the great river of the Milky Way as seen from the desert, and the fireflies of spaceships and habitats in low earth orbit that shone just overhead.

Interesting setting, well realised, but I’m not a big fan of cute robots. Mercifully short. You can get it here.

Sea of Tranquility, by Emily St. John Mandel (brief note)
It has time-travelling, and a plot that turns out to make sense.

A really well depicted moral and personal dilemma which is not too far from today’s tech.

iLobby.eu, by Caroline de Cock
The description of the legislative and policy-making process is accurate and useful, and made me realise how much of it I have internalised.

Marking Time, by Elizabeth Jane Howard
I'm very much enjoying the Cazalet books. Although we know that some of it is autobiographical, it isn't didactic.

Set in 2024. I'm afraid I was not terribly excited by the plot, with a McGuffin and a time-travelling entity looking for it.
