Yeah that makes sense, the writing style of Ancillary Justice is really unique.

have you ever read This is how you lose the time war? I’m considering reading that one next

Oh YIKES I did not know that

thats such a specific genre haha. Have read the Traitor Baru Cormorant? Very slightly outside of your criteria but I’d recommend it

Non fiction I’d recommend atomic habits (self help), nuclear war: a scenario (existential horror),~~ and Outliers (thought provoking)~~. Yes Man (interesting)

Fiction I’d recommend There is no Antimemetics division (regular horror), Exhalation (thought provoking short stories), and A Memory Called Empire (very good commentary on cultural assimilation).

Depending on what you’re looking to get from reading i have other recs

Such a fun series. The fights especially are so captivating.

thank you. reading this article/discovering his other work genuinely might be the best thing I’ve seen all year
