Hi everyone! I'm a college senior studying computer science and I'm deeply, deeply stressed about getting a job. I'm not looking for any sort of professional advice books, but more fictional books themed around that existential stress or anything you all think would be worth reading for someone making a huge life transition while the whole world is falling apart? Thank you so much!

Man’s Search For Meaning – Victor E. Frankl. You have to find your “why,” and it needs to be more than make money. Prioritize living a life of meaning. Find your wonderful and run towards it. You’ll do great. Good luck to you!
I don’t know if this may fit your bill EXACTLY but Watership Down is deeply moving classic and is of my favorites. I picked it up at a time I desperately needed something like this.
It’s beautifully written, about a troupe of rabbits that flee their warren to seek a new refuge. I cheered and cried and laughed with these lil bunnies – they all have their strengths and weaknesses. And Hazel’s leadership is unforgettable – he has doubts, makes mistakes but leads his group with wisdom, compassion and vision.
Also, a group of bunnies is called a fluffle – a small fun fact for you.
Good luck OP 🫂🩵
