Tom Hillenbrand is the fairly rare example of an author who has won awards in more than one genre, because he has won the Deutscher Science Fiction Preis and the Kurd Laßwitz Preis as well as the crime fiction awards Friedrich Glauser Preis and Radio Bremen Krimipreis.
I haven’t read Hologrammatica yet, but I liked his previous novel Drohnenland a lot. And yes, it is both SF and a murder mystery.
