In case you haven't done so already I suggest reading The Ministry for the Future.
I started that one but fell off pretty quickly after that brutal opening chapter. I think it was too heavy to read in the middle of COVID. Thanks for reminding me, I'll give it another go.
Yeah, the first chapter is hard to swallow, and compared to that the next ones feel kind of underwhelming. The book often changes pace, however there are no more gut punches like the first chapter, if that is what you are concerned about.
