Hit your book sources for:
Asimov Heinlein Louis Lamour Larry Niven Poul Anderson Philip Jose Farmer Edgar Rice Burroughs Arthur C Clarke Lots of good authors with lots of book about the human condition, the way people behave in different situations. Learned a lot of good things and ideas from all these authors and more that i read when I was a kid. ETA: Just the tip of the iceberg, this list could go on for a page or two. |

 https://www.amazon.com/Irreversible-Damage-Transgender-Seducing-Daughters/dp/1684510317 https://quillette.com/2020/11/07/gender-activists-are-trying-to-cancel-my-book-why-is-silicon-valley-helping-them/ Probably the most controversial 'banned book' in recent memory. Everyone is trying to censor this - which is how you know its good. I found it well written and readable. Really exposes the trans-industrial complex. |
