Euphoria
Lily King
@stacysinc The Murderbot series was a good entry point to audio storytelling; and then Lily King's EUPHORIA revealed what a good reader can do for an already good novel!

Enter Ghost
Isabella Hammad
Although “Enter Ghost” sometimes seems to fret about its ethics, such as the attention paid to Palestinians while other conflicts, like the one in Yemen, struggle for international attention, it succeeds as that rare fictive project that invites several audiences to pay attention.

The Ministry for the Future
Kim Stanley Robinson
I know almost nothing esoteric about economics, but reading Kim Stanley Robinson’s ‘The Ministry for the Future’ seems like a responsible thing to do for anyone who vaguely wonders if capitalism could ever be good for the planet.
