Marvel's Wastelanders: Hawkeye by J. Holtham
4.0
The entire time I listened to this I couldn't help but try to imagine how the Wastelanders' United States of America could really come to pass with evil authoritarians, fascists, and monsters carving up the country into zones. It is hard to picture because this near future is so different from our own reality.
Then America's presidential election of 2024 happened right when I was finishing it.
The story does provide hope that, even if it takes a generation or two, authoritarian regimes eventually fall, due to heroic actions by heroes, and even by small acts of kindness by people no one knows or even regard as heroes.
The ending's surprise was quite off the wall, and not completely plausible even in this implausible setting, but why not? It was a good story.
