SCI FI: All Systems Red – Martha Wells – In a corporate, spacefaring future, planetary missions must be approved and supplied by the Company and shadowed by a Company-supplied ‘droid—a self-aware AI that refers to itself as “Murderbot.” Scornful of humans, all it wants is to be left alone to figure out who it is. But when a mission goes dark, it’s up to the scientists and their Murderbot to get to the truth.
FANTASY: The Other Valley – Scott Alexander Howard – A speculative novel about an isolated town that is neighbored on either side by its own past and future.
DYSTOPIAN: The Running Man – Richard Bachman – In 2025, Ben Richards is out of work and out of luck. For a man from the poor side of town with no cash and no hope, there’s only one thing to do: become a contestant on the Network’s game show where you can win more money than you’ve ever dreamed of – or die trying.
