The Dispossessed - Ursula LeGuin Anarchist Utopian Fiction, Apparently she knew Oppenheimer and he was the inspiration for this book. Probably my favorite book currently changed how I thought of a lot of political and social things -Devon
Parable of The Sower - Octavia Butler Apocalyptic Fiction in a near future america. Super good book about building communities and actually doing something even when it's all gone to shit. - Devon
After the Revolution - Robert Evans Action book set in post 2nd civil war america has christian zealots a loose collection of free cities in texas and a mobile burning man full of cyborg warriors. Super fun super smart. -Devon
Discworld - Terry Pratchett Terry Pratchett is a master at turning silly fantasy tropes on their head to build a ridiculous and fun world that makes fun of our society and fantasy authors and their boob armour and racial stereotypes. I like the city watch series the best and think it's a good starting point. Guards! Guards! is the first. It's best to read them by story line rather than by release date. Here is the reading order guide
Ode to A Scab - Jack London Don't be a scab.
Transmetropolitan - Warren Ellis Cyberpunk Hunter S Thompson and his filthy assistants proving gonzo journalism is what the people want.
The Sandman - Neil Gaiman Supercool fantasy series about the King of Dreams and how he learns to get by with a little help from his friends. The netflix series was decent too.
The Conquest of Bread - Peter Kropotkin Former Russian Prince turned anarchist Peter Kropotkin lays out his ideas and plans for an anarcho-communist revolution and building that society after the revolution. Short and with sources, A bit old now but still one of the best intros to anarchist thought. -Devon
Canada in The World: Settler Capitalism and the Colonial Imagintation - Tyler Shipley A history of Canada from it's colonial days to 2020. He clearly has a message he's trying to push but it's all impeccably sourced. Surprisingly engaging read and I've learned a ton of things I had literally never heard of before now. -Devon
Homage to Catalonia - George Orwell Turns out fighting fascists is mostly boring, and that the real enemy isn't always who you think. -Devon
Shooting an Elephant - George Orwell George Orwell totally shot an elephant once. Never managed to shoot any fascists though.
