I read the Metropolitan Man on this recommendation.

A very interesting take in many ways.

I do think that for the narrating characters, there was a certain sociopathic aspect.

Is there a place where people discuss these books after everyone's read them so you don't have to hide spoilers? I think the genre fits whatif-scenarios very well.

I think, books probably must have plot holes, one writer doesn't have the brain power to simulate the actions of so many people very well. Hence it's always a danger to introduce a supposedly supremely smart person...



There's a bunch of subreddits you can discuss these books on.

Books don't have to have plot holes, if you base them on actual events. (Though, actual people do act stupid and even worse in uninteresting ways.)
