The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity
David Graeber
The Dawn of Everything begins as a sharp rejoinder to sloppy cultural analysis and ends as a paean to freedoms that most of us never realized were available. Knowing that there were other ways to live, Graeber and Wengrow conclude, allows us to rethink what we might yet become.

Kindred
Octavia Butler
But also! I was deeply inspired by one of the great time travel novels of the 20th century, KINDRED by Octavia Butler. It's a gorgeous, smart, haunting novel and would make an incredible gift for the literary scifi person in your life. https://t.co/v2id9DpfMK

The Daughter of Doctor Moreau
Silvia Moreno-Garcia
This book blew me away. @silviamg's writing is luminous, and dirty when it needs to be. I loved seeing this classic story of monstrous colonizers relocated to the Yucatán -- and getting the perspectives of non-human animals was badass and heart-wrenching. Highly recommended.
