   Book 18: Liberty's Daughter. A really engaging YA-ish novel about a young woman who grows up on a "seastead" an area in international waters that a bunch of libertarian types have grown their own societies in. It highlights a lot of the pitfalls of this sort of no-government+technology setup. You get a lot of what is essentially slavery along with gross things like skin farms and extreme class divides. Interesting without being too didactic. Cover didn't seem to be something actually in the book
