      71/ The January Dancer, Up Jim River, etc. by Michael Flynn Small scale interstellar spy adventure, set in a background that explicates Flynn's great ideas about cultural evolution, facts becoming narrative becoming myth, and the fragility of the scientific method

      72/ Ship of Fools, Richard Paul Russo. A slow scale disaster on a large space ship, as human nature does what human nature always does: destroys us by our own hands.

      74/ Ecotopia, by Ernest Callenbach. More or less created the modern left-environmentalist Cascadia secessionist movement. Certainly an influence on the later Pacific Edgehttps://twitter.com/MorlockP/status/1331346992849620998 …

      39/ Pacific Edge by Kim Stanley Robinson. Part of a triptych of three novels, each set 30 years in the future in the same California town, but in three very different futures.

      75/ Foundation by Isaac Asimov Asimov's reputation diminishes as time passes, for 2 reasons, 1 good, 1 bad. The valid reason is that his stories were so so and his characters were cardboard. The invalid reason is the "trope creator" problem - seems old hat bc he CREATED stuff

      77/ oh, crap, yes Tweet #72 in this sequence conflated two things. Ship of Fools is EXCELLENT, but I gave the DESCRIPTION of this novel instead (which is also recommended)https://twitter.com/ngvrnd/status/1331604365031989248 …

      78/ The Girl Who Owned a City, O. T. Nelson A YA apocalyptic novel where a plague kills all of the adults and a 12 year old girl must organize a defense of the children she protects from rival gangs who try to steal their food. Libertarianism smuggled in. Formative for me.

      79/ Chronoliths by Robert Charles Wilson. Huge crystal monuments start appearing, sent from the future, and documenting the battles fought by a near future warlord as he takes over the planet. The chronoliths inspire the battles and wars they document. But...

      80/ Flowers for Algernon, by Daniel Keyes (no relation to Daniel Keyes Moran in #61 in this thread). A heart breaking story about intelligence. Relevant to Freddie deBoer's recent non-fiction writings on intelligence, poverty, etc.
