Almost anything by Jasper Fforde. He writes amazingly smart and funny modern fantasy, with great characters and settings.

Sergey Snegov - Humans as Gods I read it as a teenager. Full of interesting ideas I haven’t seen anywhere else. Definitely worth a read, however it’s difficult to come by.
Bleeding Sun by Samuel Sagan. Interesting psychic space warfare with Matrix elements and VR/AR stuff.
Beyond the sky and the earth by Jamie Zeppa. The only people I know who have read it have done it at my recommendation.
An Dutch book named “Ijskoude Handen”.
I have never heard anyone chat about, here on Lemmy nor on Reddit.
New Ideas on Dead Economists. Has a pretty good section on Marx for the "communists". Overall just a good read in the philosophical advancement of economic theory over time. Good approachable econ book.
