Gripping and Disturbing

This is a novel set on a repair vessel at sea that fixes breaks on undersea internet cabling and its strange chief engineer and diver, John Conway. Its central theme is connection and the vulnerability of this and also human connection. It is enthralling but also disturbing in the insights its highlights to our fragile connections. It has been compared with Conrad's Heart of Darkness which I also found unsettling. An excellent read and highly recommended.
