Books to keep the little flame alive 🔥
Fiction with revolutionary themes or spirit because prefiguration (imagining possible futures, designing alternatives) is crucial. Also contains works engaging with revolutions and the lives enmeshed within them. We must protect the little flame. And books are the best.

everything for everyone: an oral history of the new york commune 5052-2072!
I've read some of these and had some of them recommended to me. Would love to add more to this list. Let me know if you've got any fiction recs that help keep revolutionary hearts safe or sharpen revolutionary minds.
A Far Better Thing is a reimagining of A Tale of Two Cities in a slightly different context, but translates the themes of revolution really successfully I think. In case you think it might fit. Thanks for the awesome list!
