Central Station by Lavie Tidhar

Set in a near-future Tel Aviv transformed into an interstellar crossroads, the book weaves together linked stories about immigrants, traders, exiles, criminals and artificial intelligences whose lives intersect around a bustling spaceport. Mixing noirish detective threads, intimate family dramas and surreal encounters with digital deities and colonial leftovers, it explores memory, identity, migration and the moral costs of progress in a vividly imagined, multicultural future.
