Scifi or not, I just couldn't get into The City and the City; the concept was interesting, but wasn't enough to carry the book for me. I just didn't think the author explored the concept enough, found the constant "unseeing" to be tiresome and never found any of the characters particularly interesting.
I also really enjoyed Iain M Banks' recent Culture novel, Surface Detail. I'm not particularly a fan of the Culture novels, but I did enjoy the description of the virtual Hells.
