I can't get enough of stories grounded in reality but have some wort of sci fi twist to it that makes the situation unique. That's why I loved Arrival so much. Stuff like that could potentially happen or be found in the world we live in. Anyway, it's a quick read and the first of a three book series so you guys should check it out.

It's also going to be a movie directed by Alex Garland who made Ex Machina if that interests anybody.
