I am craving another book that speculates at a slightly dystopian future, mostly realistic but leaning into science fiction or magical realism. Books like this that I’ve enjoyed recently are:
– The Light Pirate by Lily Brooks Dalton
– The Sea of Tranquility & Station Eleven by Emily St John Mandel
– How High We Go In The Dark by Sequoia Nagamatsu
– Annihilation by Jeff Vandermeer
– I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Harpman
– The Power by Naomi Alderman (not recent, but definitely an all time fave!)
Thank you in advance for recs!
