84K: A grim meathook future novel of exterminism, with a theory of change and a glimmer of hope in its centre

@doctorow Nice to see Ridley Walker get a shout out; I’ve been a fan of Russel Hoban for a long time, but his writing doesn’t get an awful lot of notice.

Maybe add Jack Womack’s Dryco books (Ambient, Terraplane, Elvissey , and something else I can’t remember right now) to your list of grim meathook future novels?
