    Fire on the mountain. By Terry Bisson. It’s an alternative history book about what if John Browns raid at Harper’s ferry had succeeded and sparked a slave revolt

    Sacred and Terrible Air (Group Ibex translation )by Robert Kurvitz. Yes I only know about it because it's by the Disco Elysium guy and set in the same universe as the game but it is legitimately a great piece of literature.

    Women in Cuba: 20 Years Later by Margaret Randall, it's a rather uplifting read of some of the stuff accomplished in Cuba following the revolution. Really interesting to read how the literacy program was implemented, the things they did to give women an option beyond prostitution, and some of the art programs they used to address male chauvinism. Plus, some cool pictures in there. I'm afraid libgen doesn't have it, but amazon's got some cheap paperbacks.

            Oh, wow! Awesome! Where did you source a copy from? I even looked on irc.

            The author also has other works which look like they'd be good reading if you're interested in taking on the hunt.

              My go-to places outside of Libgen/Anna's Archive/ZLib are trawling mostly Russian language results from Yandex and, as it was in this case, ripping stuff from the internet archive.

              If you have other books that you want just let me know the title/author and I'll see what I can do.

      That last part is good enough for me. Consider it read on my part.

    Come on, up and at 'em, suggest a book, any book, so long as it's not ultra-right drivel (unless it's with some reading guide examining the fascist beliefs and where they come from and all that, idk)
