The Gurkha and the Lord of Tuesday, Saad Z. Hossain. Fun novella: a djinn wakes up in the future, havoc ensues as he confronts a city-manager AI and brings dark secrets to light. Sometimes I read something and my reaction is "that was classic-feeling" and I'm not exactly sure what I mean by that... there were a bunch of elements in this that felt very contemporary and yet I can imagine it on a shelf with, like, the Stainless Steel Rat books or something. (If I'm remembering them correctly, it's been a long time. Also wow there were a lot more of them than I ever read, and the last one came out in 2010??) Anyways, I enjoyed it, and will particularly rec it if you like Scalzi.
