Don't Blink
I really enjoyed Tade Thompson's Rosewater, an enjoyable novel about life after aliens establish a colony on Earth, set outside the main encampment in Nigeria. While "alien invasion as a metaphor for western colonialism" ain't exactly a fresh idea, it's none-the-less a well done take on it. The main thing is the clever ways people find to make use of alien detritus, Roadside Picnic style, with the protagonist having pseudo-telepathy on account of being able to tune in on alien wifi.

Skip the sequels.
