Well written and thought provoking sci-fi, in a dystopian future world. The riots in London this last week and the right wing politics of

b) class separation between haves and have nots
along with the images of fire, burning, arrests, looting and chaos all fit dramatically into this book. I felt I was reading something almost prescient. It challenges what your own prejudices are.
It's written from the point of view of different characters - the stunted Holman with his artistic ability and the perfect Gunt, the policeman with perfect genes but no engineering. It's a violent book in parts, but justified with fascinating characters, an edgy plot and an all too foreseeable future. Highly recommended.
