I finished reading "Void Star" by Zachary Mason today. I liked it! The best descriptor I can think of is "post-cyberpunk", but that's probably an oversimplification.

It's written in a dreamlike, slightly complicated style, which I enjoyed. There were many references to classical mythology, mainly Greek, most of which I'm sure I missed. I think it's a book that will reward multiple readings.

@cev Do I have to read the ``The Lost Books of the Odyssey'' first?

@yrabbit No, it's not a sequel to "Lost Books", as far as I can tell.

I'm curious to read that one now, though. I like Mason's style. Though I'll probably have to re-read "The Odyssey" to get the most out of it.
