In my book Technomancer, there is a lot of reflection about how people in real life behave. This book tells us that people are often greedy and skeptical to trust others. Through the actions that the characters and just people in the background do, it shows how people in cities are often caught up in their busy lives and don't pay attention to detail, unless something really big is going on. Also, the book's characters show how deaths or disappearances are not easily forgotten. Many people want revenge for anything that may have happened to the people they care about.
Other things that reflect on how people really act is how panicked people become when they are in a place that they are not used to. They often feel very uncomfortable in a strange new environment and aren't sure how to deal with being in a different place. Another thing that reflects how real people act is how even the calmest of people show surprise when they see something completely unexpected. They often lose their composure and show weakness. Sometimes they even make decisions that they regret later on.

Technomancer: Unspeakable Things
I am currently reading Technomancer: Unspeakable Things by: B.V Larson. I am currently about 50% of the way through the book. What's good about this book is that it contains a lot of mystery within it, and it keeps you guessing as to what's going to happen. There is a great deal of suspense and confusion that just makes you want to turn the page. However, there are some things about this book that make it not so great. One of these things is that sometimes, the plot isn't entirely sure where it wants to go. It's very fickle in that it jumps around to a lot of different characters and moves on to the next thing with little answer to the questions there are. So that brings up another thing; halfway through the book, there are so many questions, on only half answers. I know that I haven't reached the end, but there is so much of the story to wrap up, that I'm afraid there are going to be loose ends. So, I would recommend this book for those who are patient and willing to read to the end because, while the beginning pulls the reader in, the plot becomes confusing to a point where you get lost and don't know what's happening.
