@helen. your profile says you're seeking sci fi recommendations. Ever read anything by Daniel Suarez? Daemon and Freedom™ were two of my favorites; Kill Decision was way up there too. The first two are basically one book in two parts -- I consider it a must read for Bitcoiners. The second is big on drones and what happens when you take a human out of the loop.

Rabbits by Terry Miles was one I recently read thanks to a recommendation from @DagzTagz. Bit more surreal but addictive. Also has a podcast and a sequel -- the pod was very good atmospherically. Haven't read the sequel yet.
