December: Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson.
The next poll will pick two books. I'd like to do it that way to keep a strong second place contender from being overlooked, and so I don't have to update the poll so often.
Discuss The Three-Body Problem by Liu Cixin in the comments below.
Snow Crash was written by Neal Stephenson in 1992. The novel features a bit of a Calexit scenario, and is known for popularizing the term "avatar" (paving the way for James Cameron's true magnum opus). These days, Neal moonlights as Magic Leap's "Chief Futurist". Seems appropriate.

I travel more than average folks do and what I see is almost universal hate of the local governments. It's not universal in a sense of what local is as some hate say state level but ok with city or vise versa, but there is some government to hate for everybody. That's why I am so pessimistic about our progress as humans at least for a foreseeable future.
