Have a read of Wengrow and Graeber’s The Dawn Of Everything. It’s a re-examination of the political implications of archeology, and it’s pretty inspiring. Definitely dispelled me of any notion that capitalism or communism or totalitarianism were the only plausible systems.

Vendor lock-in.

• Necromancer by William Gibson gripped me hard.
• anything by Terry Pratchett. Hard to choose, but probably Feet Of Clay.
• anything by Ursula Le Guin, probably The Dispossessed.

Probably forgetting a few, those would all be in my top 5 though
