If you need a book series to make you feel a little more human again... these are the books. Firstly, what an interesting way to craft a story after the ending of the first book (no spoilers) but wow, that's how you do it. Hank Green is an expert when it comes to navigating social media fame and implores you to be a little more introspective about how you use social media, how you engage and view creators, how creators are flawed and human and deserving of growth and change (as we all are), but also speaks critically of how fame and power can corrupt. In my opinion, this is one of the best modern sci-fi stories.
Graphic: Body horror, Kidnapping, and Confinement
Moderate: Gun violence and Addiction
Minor: Racism
