Last night as I waited for my flight from Bahrain to Muscat, I finished reading Exit West by Mohsin Hamid--a science fiction story built around a couple of young people from an Islamic area where extremists in a future maybe 30 to 50 years from now are battling the government and slowly taking over the city grid-by-grid. Although concentrating on this one couple, it becomes clear that the whole world is in chaos with refugees fleeing the danger zones with hopes of a better life. The book was named one of the ten best books of 2017 by the New York Times Book Review. I gave it 4 stars out of 5.
