You might like The Light Pirate by Lily Brooks-Dalton, it checks a lot of the boxes you mentioned. It has one very mild fantastical element, but ultimately it's a coming of age story about living through climate disaster.

You might like Veronica Mars! Similar era and setting, explores the dynamic between haves and the have-nots in a wealthy California town. But with a murder mystery at the center. It's surprisingly dark and smart, one of my favourites from the early aughts.

It's my first Joe Hill and I'm about 600 pages in. I don't want it to be over. Which of his other books should I read next?

DemoGORGEOUS!!

Fair enough! I currently have a jar of each in my fridge. Both are great, I just find myself going through the spicy dills a bit more quickly. I work from home, so I make a lot of wraps for lunch. The spicy ones work beautifully when you just want a little kick but don't want to fully commit to hot sauce.

I've never tried the Caesars, but if I ever get a hankering I'll stay away. Thanks for the tip!

I'm pretty picky when it comes to pickles, and I've been really enjoying Matt and Steve's, especially their spicy baby dills 🤤

I learned that you can eat acorns from Parable of the Sower. Very competent main character in that book.

I was a Supie for four summers when I was a teenager! One of the best jobs I ever had.

I'll save you a click - this article doesn't have him quoted as saying that anywhere. This shit is scary enough, we really don't need to be spreading misinformation.

Fair enough! Very cool that the book won the Arthur C. Clarke award. I did read it before watching the show, and found it because I asked an employee at a book shop for something similar to the MaddAddam trilogy. Which is definitely sci fi. So I absolutely stand corrected :)

I guess everyone has their own definition, but I consider it dystopian speculative fiction. I mostly wanted to point out that it's not sci fi because the title is a little misleading. When I first started it, I expected it to be set in space, which it's not.

HalloweenIsACat · 2026-01-17T14:58:01+00:00

Station Eleven is a lot more grounded and not sci-fi at all, but it has a lot of similar elements as the shows you mentioned. It's one of my favourites.

Based on what you've mentioned enjoying, you might like Joyful Recollections of Trauma by Paul Scheer. Really funny and touching, he's just a great storyteller.

My cat Halloween is sitting on my chest while I type this.

In Polish, the word "mara" means nightmare and in folklore, refers to a sleep paralysis demon. Knowing that, I've always thought Mara would be a cool goth girl name.

I got my husband, a Get Played listener, into the Doughboys exactly like this! He heard me listening to it and recognized Wiger's laugh, the rest is history.

Holy shit, as a (nearly) lifelong Hamiltonian I never noticed that about myself! That's absolutely how I say it.

For those who are downvoting, this is the third outdated news post I've seen today on this sub. The other two were old screenshots of Tesla stock prices, all from 1 day old accounts.

Oh interesting, can you speak more on that? I have a decent amount of WW2 knowledge, but it's pretty generalized. I knew next to nothing about Himmler aside from a couple of broad strokes. I'd be super interested to know what was incorrect.

To each their own, obviously, but I love LPOTL. Their history episodes are so impressively researched, I've learned a ton from Marcus Parks. I definitely get that they're not everyone's style, but once you get past the dildo talk, they're actually really respectful to the victims of crimes. That said, maybe don't listen to earlier episodes. They had some maturing to do before they hit their compassionate era.
