Inverted World

A city on rails that constantly needs to be moved to ‘stay at optimum'. The reasons for this are hidden from the major city population. The reader discovers the world together with the protagonist, who ventures into the past and the future of the city's pathway and slowly has to change his beliefs of what he thought reality was.

Amazing. Absolutely gripping even though there is not much action. Somehow it felt like Kōbō Abe's “The Woman in the Dunes” colliding with Greg Egan's “Incandescence”.
