Clean Air by Sarah Blake. So, on the surface, this book is a post-apocalyptic novel set in a world where pollen has become deadly, self-driving cars and remote-controlled farming equipment are ubiquitous, and humanity lives in air-filtered homes, masking for any brief forays outside. That would be enough for most typical sci-fi novels, but Blake goes further to mix in mediums and seances, ancient Japanese spirits, and a no-nonsense cop on the trail of a serial killer - and it all works. But beneath all this cool and complex context is the story of woman struggling to figure out who she is and what she wants and where she fits in the world.
