I like to follow a thematic thread with books and movies. Here are a few recent ones that might interest the HN crowd: * water issues/climate change in the Southwest: - *Chinatown* (film) - *The Water Knife* by Paolo Bacigalupi (sci-fi novel, described as "*Chinatown* meets *Mad Max*) - *The Cadillac Desert* by Marc Reisser (nonfiction, part of a plot element in *The Water Knife* - *Cadillac Desert* PBS documentary[1] * Dark espionage thrillers: - *The Night Manager* by John LeCarre (novel, honestly not one of his best) - *The Night Manager* (TV miniseries--much better than the book!) - *The Ghost Writer* by Robert Harris (novel) - *The Ghost Writer* (movie) - *An Officer and a Spy* by Robert Harris (excellent and extensively researched historical novel, based on the Dreyfus Affair in Paris circa 1900) - *J'Accuse (An Officer and a Spy)* (movie) [1]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkbebOhnCjA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkbebOhnCjA
