Josh Calder
Written for readers who have finished Book 1.
Josh Calder is Hannah's fiancé — a tall, warm, easy-to-like New Zealander who works on the national identity-and-payments rollout reshaping how the country lives. Decent and well-liked, he is sure he is building something that helps people and leaves no one behind. His is the story's other lens: the new system seen from the inside, by a good man who trusts it.
