I absolutely loved "An Oral History of the Zombie War", as it was written through interviews, memories, and those small debriefs at the beginning of each chapter.
Tldr:
++++++
I'm looking for a book/story where Protagonist/s work for large administrative body and the story should be told through documents they produce or documents featuring them.
I'm not interested in Journalists and news articles!
Bonus points for fantasy/sci-fi/medieval setting (do not be suprise everyone kingdom need administrative body)
++++++
I'm lookout for books that are mostly written in the form of official documents, logs from meetings, files, official decisions…
I’m also a big fan of SCP, but I’d prefer if the recommended book isn't horror.
Additionally, I'd like to avoid stories centered around massive conspiracies. I'm more interested in something that focuses on ordinary white-collar workers, scientists, consultants, politicians, executives… all working together within a large administrative body like a government.
Think of characters like:
- Some are corrupt
- Some are just passive
- Some are power-hungry psychos
- Some abuse their power
- Some are reformists thwarted by rigid legislation
- Some are naive reformers who end up making things worse
- Some work diligently within the boundaries to keep the system functioning
….
And all of this somehow holds together, much like the real world.
I’d love to read some compelling stories told through the products of their work. I really enjoy official and academic English, and no, I'm not a lawyer.
And yes I had (not read) yeat herd about "Illuminiae" by (AmieKoufman) – Story about two two teenagers in corporate war in space that in tald in form of emailed, military files, interviews, medical reports… So it is almost what I'm looking for. But from bit different environment.
Any recommendations?
Thanks!
