Near-Future Political Mystery

This was written just long enough ago that the near-future imagined has become our "we didn't go down that path" past, but the politics and issues the characters grapple with are still with us now. I loved these characters. They are snarky, they are pragmatic, they are pessimistically idealistic, and they are simultaneously relatable and entirely alien. This is Book One; as of the time of this review there are a total of four books out in this series, and a couple others in the same universe with a slightly different set of characters (some overlap exists). There's also a (currently free) webcomic set in the same universe, called "A Girl And Her Fed". Reading that is a fairly decent fix while we wait for the next books to come out. Anyhow, the book is recommended. It doesn't shy away from hard issues, but it deals with them with humor, humanity, and an irrepressible hope which we could all use a dose of right now.
