Malka Older's Centenal Cycle Series begins with Infomocracy followed by Null States and State Tectonics, and takes readers through a world of micro-democracies.
I love how she's using the series to create small laboratories in which to investigate social technologies and structures as well as the diverse characters moving among them.
Basically, you will feel smarter after this conversation with Malka, and especially if you dive into this series . . . I know I did!
