   Book 87: This Great Hemisphere. I knew this book would be a difficult read and it was. It's a distant future novel about a post-technological world in which some people are invisible and there is huge social stratification between visible and non-visible people. As you'd expect, it's a commentary on extreme racial injustices and prejudices and just how evil people in power can get, in ways even they themselves might not expect. It's brutal and full of trauma and some moments of great joy.
