Neom (2022)
(Central Station)
Lavie Tidhar
"Lavie Tidhar, standing on the shoulders of Vance, Smith, and Ballard and others, imagines stories set in that place, a city in a wasteland near the Gulf of Suez, in a future filled with robots and AI and terrorartists and young boys and talking jackals and a wonderful, terrible solar system packed with life."

Tomorrow Factory (2018)
Rich Larson
