Dystopian / sci fi books like severance, tender is the flesh, the memory police
I’ve been loving modern-ish sci fi books that have good societal commentary, especially about government and capitalism. Can anyone think of anything similar?
The Marriage Act by John Marrs, Baby X by Kira Peikoff, Chain Gang All Stars by Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah
