https://www.amazon.com/Limit-Frank-S...sch%C3%A4tzing

By the author of "The Swarm" LINK, "Breaking News" and "Nachrichten aus einem unbekannten Universum" (one of the most accessible popular science books I have ever read).

People living in a notorious hurry, and feeling stressed by books longer than 150 pages, are recommended to stay away, though.

Schätzing combines science facts and reasonable exploration of current technologies in their near-future realisation, and combines that with sometimes thriller elements (The Swarm), and detective motives (Limit). Think of hiom as the German Michael Crichton. In German-tongued Europe, he is one of the most successfull contemporary writers. His books are long and thorough - but I like them to be like that. Tremendously.

While I am at him, "Breaking News" also was a good book, telling en-passant the history of the state of Israel from original and subjective perspectives, using the form of thriller and family biography.
