Sarah Blakley-Cartwright recommends

Nothing Serious (2025)
Emily J Smith
"This smart, exceptionally readable novel lays bare the hazards which confront women working in tech, an industry monoculture whose patina of brilliance masks its witlessness about the psychic damage brought on by its preoccupation with power. Emily J. Smith draws a haunting character, Edie Walker, whose efforts to maintain her integrity ironically lead her to take on a series of dodgy self-identifications. It's both touching and maddening to follow her as she seeks for honest answers in an inescapable algorithm-driven world where everything is quantified, preordained and relentlessly toxic."

Misrecognition (2024)
Madison Newbound
"An astonishingly assured debut. Every interaction is like a mirage, at once familiar and estranging, and in Newbound's enthralling novel we are all, every one of us, actors."
