Nonfiction: I just finished The Identity Trap (Yascha Mounk) and Doppelganger (Naomi Klein) and found them immensely worthwhile. Older: Fantasyland (Kurt Andersen, 2017) rang true (and scathing).

Climate/design nonfiction: I found Flourish (Sarah Ichioka, Michael Pawlyn) to be compelling (in part because I have a big crush on Doughnut Economics, which figures in here, as well as an unbridled optimism about potential of remapping things toward regeneration).

Fiction: on the climate fiction front, The Deluge (Stephen Markley) was quite an engaging long romp, if you have the stomach for it, and I enjoyed The Ministry for the Future (Kim Stanley Robinson).

I’d also recommend The Dawn of Everything by Graeber and Wengrow. Similar to Calder in that it reformulates human history.
