In a similar situation to Bellwether and Passage, the main character, Briddey Flannigan, is part of a larger institution who gets caught up in series of escalating events. Additionally, Crosstalk like Bellwether and Passage feature themes of neuroscience, communication and technology.

Review of 'Crosstalk' on 'Goodreads'

Disappointing for Connie Willis. This is too convoluted, unwieldy, too many convenient details and events, and deus ex machina, and an annoying kid. On a topic like this one, things had to be tight, and there were many times where I thought (haha) this was not consistent. The constant back and forth of dialogue and thinking gets exhausting.
Also, the men saving women, that was also annoying.
ETA: after thinking about it further, this book is pretty much a rehash of Passage.
