I have been on a kick recently looking at novels where ideas become "entities" and this novel is an interesting look at what constitutes a "city".

I have never read Jemisin, but from what you said, maybe you would enjoy The City and the City by Mieville.

I found it! I had to browse this community from a separate instance in the browser and tell my Lemmy client to open the permalink on your comment before it would show up.
Anyway I'm a fan of both Jemisin and Mieville and would encourage you to read some Jemisin. Maybe not as gritty and grimy but still really good.
