Dimos Horacki is a Borolian journalist and a cynical patriot, his muckraking days behind him. But when his newspaper ships him to the front, he’s embedded in the Imperial Army and the reality of colonial expansion is laid bare before him. His adventures take him from villages and homesteads to the great refugee city of Hronople, built of glass, steel, and stone, all while a war rages around him. The empire fights for coal and iron, but the anarchists of Hron fight for their way of life.

Good book, hard to write this kind of fiction.
Revisado: 01-03-25
Proposing a positive, alternative social structure in a fictional setting is an audacious endeavor. Most will reject the construct outright, and those (like myself) who mostly agree at the outset will find minor flaws to pick at as the story moves through the theory.
It's a good story, though, so my recommendation is to initially enjoy it without judging the construct too harshly. Afterwards, I suggest letting Hron roll around in your head a while. Maybe it shifts some mental balance points, maybe not. When you do make your comparisons, I ask that you compare it against real systems and not a theoretical perfect society. "Better than what we have" is a good way to start making changes.

Lorel has always dreamed of becoming a witch—learning magic, fighting monsters, and exploring the world beyond the small town where she and her mother run the stables. Even though a strange plague is killing the trees in the Kingdom of Cekon and witches are being blamed for it, Lorel wants nothing more than to join them. There’s only one problem: all witches are women, and she was born a boy. When the coven comes to claim her best friend, Lorel disguises herself in a dress and joins in her friend’s place, leaving home and her old self behind.

In a futuristic world where predictive software can map out the lives of every living person and their descendants, Naomi Prynne is on trial. The charge: endangerment by way of a pregnancy. Thirteen jurors will determine whether Naomi is allowed to carry the pregnancy to term, but the jurors are also all plaintiffs, the software having predicted how Naomi Prynne’s child will affect each of them in life-changing ways.

Kind of fascy. not sure if intentional or not
Revisado: 01-19-22
performances are good. seemed to be a thinly veiled anti-abortion screed. Also kind of InfoWars-adjacent. Author actually used "new world order" to describe the post-apocalyptic hellscape the author imagines occurs when people try to put collective good slightly ahead of individual advantage...and still kind of degenerates into "me first" imaginings. I do not recommend.

Stranger in a Strange Land is the epic saga of an earthling, Valentine Michael Smith, born and educated on Mars, who arrives on our planet with “psi” powers—telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition, telekinesis, teleportation, pyrolysis, and the ability to take control of the minds of others—and complete innocence regarding the mores of man. After his tutelage under a surrogate father figure, Valentine begins his transformation into a kind of messiah.

Sixties era misogyny at its height. First half is interesting. Second half is male sexual fantasy. I found it disgusting, and I'm a man.
