I’d like one where the MC is part of a resistance movement. Preferably nothing YA. Something serious you know. I’d like one near future but I’d accept a historical one
This one is a bit different put, How Beautiful We Were by Imbolo Mbue
This book is gorgeous, and it follows a semi-fictional village in West Africa over the course of three or four generations. It’s about their resistance movement against their government and an oil company attempting to seize and poison their ancestral land. It has magic, risk, strategy, deep care, and realism. It’s told in the collective voice sometimes, which is something I’ve never really encountered in a book before. Each generation will take a turn as a narrator, each sect of society. The MC has an interesting and nuanced role in their resistance movement, everyone in the village does, it’s not easy nor clean but it’s real.
Maybe you’ll like!

Cloud Atlas by Dave Mitchell. It’s WAY better than the movie they made like 10’years ago. There’s just too much going on for it to be effectively screen adapted

A Country of Ghosts by Margaret Killjoy
We Are Satellites by Sarah Pinsker
The Dispossessed by Ursula K. Le Guin, a great classic.

Aimee and Jaguar is a nonfiction book about the love story between a Nazi officer’s wife and the underground female Jewish resistance fighter hiding in plain sight in Berlin. A really exceptional documentary about them exists too.

i recommend The Power by Naomi Alderman. It’s a thought-provoking novel about a world where women develop the ability to release electrical jolts, leading to a shift in power dynamics and the rise of a resistance movement. It’s a gripping and impactful read that delves into societal and political issues.

Robert A. Heinlein’s **The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress** is the inner workings of Earth’s penal colony on the moon rebelling.
