What a fun list! I love that you included Several people are typing on here. Itâs one of my favorite reads from this year!
Ooooh you gotta add Finna by Nino Cipri to this list! And its sequel Defekt.
This is (sadly) a very relevant subgenre of fiction right now đ But there's some great books on the topic! I have a few recs, you can see if they fit your vision for the list:
-There's No Such Thing as an Easy Job by Kikuko Tsumura -The Discontent by Beatriz Serrano -Startup Hell, an upcoming release by Caitlin Rozakis
