I love when books keep making me think about the world we live in now, that keep feeling pertinent. To that, some of the #hopepunk / #solarpunk style books have been really fun. Malka Older's Infomocracy, Emry's A Half Built Garden. I also loved being transported to the space-Byzantines in Arkady Martines's A Memory Called Empire; a reverberation of the past set far in the future. The interwoven Hives & world of Ada Palmer's Too Like The Lightning / Terra Ignota are an incredible backdrop for such a story of many powers of the intersecting and overlapping and coming against each other. Or the rollicking fun and action, the oppressive decadent space elites & politicking and rebelling of young-adult+ Pierce Brown's Red Rising.
