Blindsight
Peter Watts
@EveryNobody @misterj880 The novel Blindsight by Peter Watts explores similar concepts and is pretty disturbing.
Paperback, 2020

The Dark Forest
Cixin Liu
Man, Cixin Liu's suggestion in The Dark Forest that humanity would all die to an alien attack because global fights about equity would prevent us from ever deciding who gets to go on the space ships that would flee is so fucking on point and he wrote it in 2008.
Paperback, 2016

Swan Song
Robert McCammon
SWAN SONG by Robert McCammon is the post-apocalyptic adaptation that we need right now. A book I sometimes compare it to THE STAND, and it's criminally obscure. https://t.co/QlEdsKajvk https://t.co/AdLp1EnFqn

Revenger
Alastair Reynolds
@0K_ultra This image made me think of "The Bones" from Alastair Reynolds' Revenger. It's an arcane communicator that's an ancient alien skull with machinery inside that you port into and can sense other people on other ships doing the same thing. This is how it's depicted on the cover: https://t.co/fr73FDevwp

Rhythm of War: Book Four of the Stormlight Archive
Brandon Sanderson
Maaaaan, the epilogue to Rhythm of War... Is Brandon Sanderson a Madoka fan?

Seveneves
Neal Stephenson
In Neal Stephenson's novel SEVENEVES, instant mass communication on social media type apps almost causes the extinction of humanity due to misinformation and political manipulation, and the resulting society reverts to receiving information on a more delayed basis.

Mistborn: The Final Empire
Brandon Sanderson
@nscalzo81 The Mistborn trilogy and/or the Stormlight Archive books, both by Brandon Sanderson. Can't recommend both enough. Mistborn is a complete story. Stormlight is ongoing.

Social Justice: Freedom + Equality + Fraternity
Overton Window
This same attempt at sematic deflection happened with CRT. This isn't complicated. Someone woke views everything through a prism of social justice and has a progressive stack mindset with regards to policy, media, academia, and the Overton Window. To quote Anita Sarkeesian: https://t.co/cd1RvSiGkP https://t.co/OuHyFcCXDf

Eversion
Alastair Reynolds
Started Eversion by Alastair Reynolds, and like many of his books, the initial experience going in blind is "uh, what is this even about? Seems pretty munda... Oh. I see."
