Nick Mamatas recommends

Ruin (2022)
Cara Hoffman
"If there is such a thing as 'anarchist fiction, ' it must be fiction that breaks all the rules of time and space, of realism and the fantastic, of fact and feelings. RUIN is true, exciting, anarchist fiction."

Unity (2021)
Elly Bangs
"Epic science fiction, and intimately personal at the same time, thanks to the clever and revolutionary trick of disassembling the individual subject. Take THAT, the very form of the novel!"

The Lamb Will Slaughter the Lion (2017)
(Danielle Cain, book 1)
Margaret Killjoy
"A daring anti-fantasy and anti-utopia where even anarchists need to be careful what they wish for."
