@purplelotus13 @arendleejessurun "Little Brother" by Cory Doctorow @pluralistic is a free #book downloadable from Cory's website.

Alt formats also available from Cory's website

I have the sequel "Homeland" on my TBR pile too. Scarily prophetic for what is happening in USA right now. Maybe not great for hopeful escapism altho I expect a survivable ending cos the next in the series "Attack Surface" has some of the samecharacters.

For weirder escapism I'm also reading Merchant Traders series by Charles Stross @cstross

They're portal fiction unlike the James Bond on a budget meets Lovecraft + Brit bureacracy of the #LaundryFiles. The latest ones in the New Management phase may appeal

Or the lighter UK X files but police and magic and nicer #RiversOfLondon series by Ben Aaronovitch in #books and comics

I also read cosy mysteries like Richard Osman's Thursday Murder Club series.

And for total escapism, Georgette Heyers' historical romances. Try The Grand Sophy
