I'm sorry to say, therefore, that I actually didn't like it as much as The Islanders. I found the characters more baffling than engaging, and felt that while the setting was superbly realised, this was not as true of the story. My vote for Best Novel therefore goes to the many strands (in more than one sense) of Christopher Priest's The Islanders, followed by Embassytown, Adam Roberts' by Light Alone, Lavie Tidhar's Osama and Kim Lakin-Smith's Cyber Circus, in that order.
