Clockwork Angels by Kevin J. Anderson

The watchmaker rules over a perfectly ordered society where everyone knows their place and everything happens at exactly the right time. His subjects are for the most part happy to live such a controlled existence secure in the knowledge that the Watchmaker will look after them and everything will work out alight. The hero of this book is a rather accidental rebel who ends up stepping out of his pre-determined groove and embarking on a series of adventures all the while being shadowed by the shadowy arch nemesis of the Watchmaker known as the Anarchist.

Interesting story that has a tie in with an album of the same name by the band Rush.
