Science fiction author N.K. Jemisin had been on my to-read list for a while, because her awards, her inclusivity, and because of her portrayal of sociopolitical issues like racism.
Listening to a podcast by Annalee Newitz - author of "The Terraformers" - there is a reference to a short story by Jemisin, as being the best response to Ayn Rand's so influential right-wing libertarianism.
That story is "Emergency Skin". I picked up the audio version (in English, an hour long). It was my first time with this format and I loved it - perhaps because of the competence of the voice actor.
It is a dystopia (which becomes utopia) quite relevant in these times. In a very distant future, the class of billionaires and oligarchs in general flees to another planet, due to the socio-environmental collapse on Earth, abandoning to die the 99% of the population …

It is a dystopia (which becomes utopia) quite relevant in these times. In a very distant future, the class of billionaires and oligarchs in general flees to another planet, due to the socio-environmental collapse on Earth, abandoning to die the 99% of the population that has no privileges. A long time later, an expedition visits Earth to gather data on the collapse and finds something very different than expected.

É um livro para o público em geral, mas que não tropeça no didatismo, apesar de ter bastante — os "infodumps" são até que bem interessantes.

É o meu tipo de livro preferido. Ficção científica vira-páginas com elementos existenciaiss, psicológicos e psicodélicos. Tem uma pegada de "Aniquilação", do Jeff Vandermeer. E foi por essa chamada (e a recomendação do Stephen King) que comecei a ler. Dei três estrelas porque, apesar de não ter muito do que reclamar, ele é relativamente "esquecível". Não será algo que lembrarei como muito memorável.
