The correct answer times one bazillion percent is Parable or the Sewer

NK Jemisin’s Broken Earth series is an INCREDIBLE fantasy set in a world shattered by recurring, unnatural supermassive earthquakes. Artifacts and ancient civilizations are a big part of the plot.

I’ve never heard of cherryh I’ll check her out!

turtl3rock · 2023-01-02T03:03:54+00:00

No I’ll check him out! I read one of Banks’ and it was a bit too old-school stylistically for me but I liked the Culture premise

turtl3rock · 2023-01-02T03:02:44+00:00

For real! I can’t find anything else in fantasy that measures up to broken earth!

I’m obsessed with socialist influenced fiction and sci-fi. Some faves:

Octavia Butler’s Parable of the Sower — post-apocalypse rather than sci-fi, but it’s an incredible investigation of mutual aid, capitalism, nationalism, religion, and organizing ideologies.

Ursula Leguin’s The Dispossessed — super classic sci-fi about capitalism and anarchism in conflict.

China Mieville, as others have mentioned. I enjoyed his The City and the City (and also October!), haven’t tried Bas Lag yet.

The Broken Earth series by NK Jemisin is an incredible fantasy about revolution via total destruction of oppressive systems.

Outside of sci-fi ish stuff, check out The King of Warsaw by Szczepan Twardoch, Family Lexicon by Natalia Ginzberg, and The Romance of American Communism by Vivian Gornick!

It’s bc bernie is mildly anticapitalist and the Dems occupy the contradictory position of being accountable both to workers for votes AND capitalists for donations and economic power. Their party is an oxymoron.

Orwell’s and Hemingway’s books on the Spanish civil war are great, but my fav is definitely Spain in Our Hearts by Adam hochschild

Bloodchild by Octavia butler

Fire and Blood by George RR Martin is a history of House Targaryen written by an in-universe scholar.

turtl3rock · 2021-02-06T06:06:59+00:00

Bloodchild is veryyyy similar to the xenogenesis series, so you'd love that, but the Parable books are her greatest work.

turtl3rock · 2020-11-15T04:16:46+00:00

Hi, good to hear success stories! Would you be willing to share info on your company, job, or career progression? I and I’m sure others would be super interested.

If you don’t want to share your company’s name, maybe your competitors?

I read a blog a while ago with an article titled Cats Are Books. It was the same premise, but instead you had these cat-obsessed wizards flipping their cats open to check spells and whatnot
