I have many favorites, but here I will recommend one I never see. I really liked a book called Genesis by Bernard Beckett. It is a fairly short read, but I have kept returning to it over the years to glean new things to ponder. It reminds me of some of the books talked about frequently, like 1984, Brave New World, or Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? while also being its own thing and not going off the deep end too far. The concepts discussed in it I found thought provoking and it is so short (less than 200 printed pages) that it is easy to pick up again on a whim and not feel like you are making a huge commitment.
