Kvlt! posted:This might be similar to some reccomendations I've asked for in the past but looking for something a bit different. I recall William Gibson saying on the Coode Street podcast a while ago that he specifically based the near-future Appalachia of The Peripheral on Winter's Bone (and the protagonist on the film's protagonist). I haven't read it yet myself though, so not sure how much of it is set there - a lot of it is in far-future London too.

God remember that freakish '80s era Oz movie where Dorothy goes back and it's all post-apocalyptic and there's those freaks who go on all fours with wheels for hands? Was that in the books?

Bozart posted:I've always loved the combination of sci fi (and fantasy) and a good mystery. Can someone recommend a good one - I've already read all of Niven, Bujold and McDevitt, and I'm a little sick of the urban fantasy. Any recommendations? I'm thinking something like Icarus Hunt by Zahn, but I would also like something with a more xeno-archeological bent (like, what happened to all of these dead aliens???) Pretty broad, but Blindsight by Peter Watts Inverted World by Christopher Priest The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August by Claire North And echoing Alastair Reynolds, I'd also recommend one of his short story collections like Galactic North.

Can anyone recommend a good "big picture" non-fiction book about the 1920s and the post-WWI period, especially 1918-1923ish? Just something about the social and political changes brought about by such a huge event. Ideally focusing more on Europe than the US, but anything is welcome.
