Mohsin Hamid recommends

The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny (2025)
Kiran Desai
"A powerful novel by a writer strong enough to pull back together worlds that are being pulled apart."

The Every (2021)
(Circle , book 2)
Dave Eggers
"Hilarious and horrifying and idealistic. An unusual combination in a novel, or in anything else, really, but here the necessary result of a powerful writer taking on much of what matters most to our future."
