Short political fiction for someone getting back into reading?

Hello! I used to read a LOT as a child but I've lost the ability to as an adult due to feeling overwhelmed by commiting to long tasks.

I'd love some recommendations for short fiction books about politics, social commentary, or political commentary (like 1984, Noughts and Crosses, etc). I tried 1984 because I loved the concept but committing to it was difficult and Noughts and Crosses by Malorie Blackaman was my favourite book series at 13-14.

I'd like some books that are fairly short, I don't have a page count in mind but something that could be finished in a few days with a chapter or two per day sounds doable for me!

I'm pretty much open to anything in the genre 🙂 thank you!
