Escapist but political fiction

Post date: 2020-09-25 14:34:15

OK, I like reading political books, but I'm trying to feel better in life and my diet of books about apocalypse and plagues and despair are not helping. I want escapist, page-turner fiction, that is a) well written and b) political. Some examples of what I mean inside yup, another question about page-turners - that's the age we're living through!]

Some examples of what I've enjoyed:

Record of a Spaceborn Few. Fun, not stressful, well written. I read it as an examination of what one socialist society might be like.
Dread Nation: a novel about slavery and white supremacy but also an action adventure about zombies.
Fire on the Mountain: fun utopian futurism mixed with a really satisfying alternative Civil War history where John Brown wins.

I'm open to any genre. As long as I will be compelled to turn the pages, there's some kind of political questions being addressed within, and I close the book feeling some kind of good or satisfied feeling.
