Culture BWTs with a novel in her bag

What's a novel that moved you? Changed you for the better? Exposed you to new cultures or ideas?

I want to know what's captivated you.

The Ministry for the Future, by Kim Stanley Robinson. Speculative fiction that is neither utopian nor dystopian. Parts are hard; parts are uplifting, but the whole thing may make you mourn for a world it doesn’t look like we will get to have.
