power at ground zero by lynne sagalyn

I really wanted to like this well-researched history of the post 9/11 reconstruction effort, but it’s just too poorly written to be worth the effort, with everything from confusing organization of timelines to ambiguous sentence construction hindering what is already a very dry (albeit important and fascinating) topic.

Both the sci-fi elements and the scientist characters are really fun and involving in this carl sagan book adaptation - but on the other hand the love interest is really annoying and the movie should’ve been 30 minutes shorter.

Maelstrom by Peter Watts

Watts’s second entry in the Rifters series doesn’t quite have the same unique magnetic characters of the first (and maybe it has slightly too many characters in general) but what it lacks in story it makes up for in prediction and world - read this to wallow in a truly terrible future dystopia that feels extremely likely.
