You've got some great books already, but here's some more: The Mountain in the Sea by Ray Naylor, The Gone World by Tom Sweterlisch, All Our Wrong Todays by Elon Matsai, Mal Goes to War by Ed Ashton. And since I have absolutely no shame... The Price of Everything, by me!

Nice review from @publisherswkly.bsky.social!
"McGoran conjures a vividly realized near-future dystopia & threads it with a sinewy crime caper. …[His] nuanced characters are believable...and the suspenseful subterfuges they employ to survive keep the pacing brisk. It’s a page-turning thrill ride."
