Recently read the "Monk & Robot" books by Becky Chambers and really loved how they had a unified tone that brought relatable emotions to life. The cozypunk was great, but I also really loved the vision of the futuristic world and how it addressed issues in our own.
Any other books out there that are shorter (let's say <350 pages) and bring to life a world that genuinely causes emotional or moral reflection?
Even books like Camus' "The Stranger" that are not at all cozy but have an interesting moral hook would work for this topic. Any suggestions are appreciated, thanks!
