I really liked this book. Can anyone recommend any relatively new books similar to this genre? Science feminist-fiction-dystopia?

Jeremy Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel, The Dog Stars by Peter Heller and The Age of Miracles by Karen Thompson Walker.

I'm listening to the audio of this book and they narrator keeps saying the word "equal" in sentences. In some areas it seems like it would fit, but mostly it doesn't. Is this how the books is written? With the word equal or the "=" sign written every where? Its so annoying to listen to.

Elle Yeah, it is her version of shorthand in her journal writing. I bet that would be super annoying to listen to, it is not really an issue to read for me…moreYeah, it is her version of shorthand in her journal writing.

Will you please publish this without the cutesy font? Use something that's more readable? Gave me headaches, so I quit reading. Seems like a good story but it's not worth eye strain.
