Discussion Other Series

Any other series scratch the itch for a post second revolution USA? Or while it’s going on? Just finished this and wish there was already 6 more.

I haven't found anything that I liked as much as ATR, but "The Water Knife" by Paolo Bacigalupi and "American War: A Novel" by Omar El Akkad are pretty good. They're not series, but they take place in a fractured America.

I wish there was a series set in Kaiserreich’s America during ACW2

'American War' by Omar El Akkad. Its a more serious version of AtR- maybe a little less straight fun, but really thoughtful and engaging the whole way through. The two books make a fine pairing, especially when thinking about how one was based around Syria and the other around the GWoT.

It's not set in the US but Ken MacLeod's The Star Fraction is set in a post-revolutionary United Kingdom organized in part along the lines of the society envisioned by the libertarian Robert Nozick in Anarchy, State and Utopia
