@shom I’ll second the recommendation of Ministry for the Future. Some others I enjoyed:
The Blue, Beautiful World by Karen Lord;
A Psalm for the Wild-Built by Becky Chambers;
Camp Zero by Michelle Min Sterling;
How High We Go in the Dark by Sequoia Nagamatsu.

@jessamyn Becky Chambers seems to be the MVP of the genre. Thanks for the heads up on How High We Go, I’ll put that a little further down the list.

@shom @leapingwoman @bookstodon Yeah I definitely don’t want to yuck anyone’s yum and HHWGITD is a GREAT book but it’s got some tough parts especially for (some) parents and I always try to point it out.
