Recs if you like Lilith's Brood: Dawn / Adulthood Rites / Imago (Xenogenesis, #1-3)...

This is NOT for books featuring trans or nonbinary protagonists in worlds with gender systems that mimic modern real-world ones. This is for books like Left Hand of Darkness or the Imperial Radch series, where the setting has an invented system of gender and/or sex, or of assigning gender/sex. I'm including interesting-to-me matriarchies (so, not ones that are just our patriarchy but gender-swapped) and gender systems that include male and female but have other genders/sexes too.

Suggestions are extremely welcome!

Books with titles that start with the most uncommon letters to begin words: X, Q, Z & J.

I wanted to join the fun in doing an alphabet challenge and am currently adding X and Z to complete my alphabet of books :) Here’s some recommendations if others want a similar challenge!

These post-apocalyptic stories examine our current world despite being set after (or sometimes during) the collapse of society. Whether it be critiquing government systems, power dynamics, the flaws and strengths of humans, environmental changes, these stories all have something to explore.

At Nohara66's request, scfi books "without space and physics!" (Or as close as can be). Some of these do feature spaceships in the background or as a step from point A to B, or set within galactic empires, or once colonised worlds, but involve no physics and don't focus on life/travel in space.
