    I would like some book recommendations set in the near-future dealing with the changing technological landscape, climate change, space colonization, cultural and demographic problems.

    The movie "Her (2013)" and the short story "Better Living Through Algorithms" by Naomi Kritzer. It can be set anywhere in the world, or even the moon. The book must also have a realistic take one the world, no outlandish scenarios or technology.

    Thank you. If you are still reading "An Immense World: How Animal Senses Reveal the Hidden Realms Around Us" by Ed Yong is an amazing non-fiction easy to read book about how different animals sense the world.

      Yours For the Taking by Gabrielle Korn is about climate change in the 2050s. It seemed fairly realistic to me. (Full disclosure, I personally didn’t like the book very much, but lots of people did.)

    2. Arboreality by Rebecca Campbell is a series of connected short stories set on Vancouver Island, a multigenerational focus on climate change’s effects on a community in the near future.
