Distraction by @bruces which is set in an election year in a falling apart America. I promise it won’t feel “too real” to the current moment as it’s an exceptional look at the places power takes you Distraction https://www.amazon.com/dp/0553576399/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glc_fabc_3Tq3FbVR4SBQG
A more overarching economic drama there has never been a better time to read The Expanse or just watch the equally good show. Imagine how trade flourishes as we take to the outer planets to mine https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/leviathan-wakes-james-s-a-corey/1100293281?ean=9780316129084#/
Absolutely Analog by my very favorite @eliotpeper https://twitter.com/sbisson/status/1340026892397776897
If you prefer a strong dash of economics with sci fi @cstross Neptune’s Children has a concept called slow money which is a genius way of financing infrastructure in FTL futures https://www.amazon.com/Neptunes-Brood-Freyaverse-Charles-Stross/dp/0425256308
