I'm a sucker for a good premise that hits the ground running and the book had a great one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anPvDxghU3s&t=3s

I'm reading Barbarians at the Gate and while it's not fiction, it's got some pretty wild characters. the central dude (they are almost all dudes) is some frat boy ceo who's trying to basically steal the tobacco company he runs from the shareholders. his main concern throughout is whether the company will continue to pay for his golf club memberships and private jets (like 10 of them). noone else really cares much about this, but do care about a bunch of personal grudges

Carthag Tuek posted:just pretend nabisco is called Maas Biolabs or Weyland-Yutani, boom instant cyberpunk honestly...it works. i'd read or watch something about corporate machinations at the top of a cyberpunk setting. we always get lots of sexy shots of neo-tokyo's grimy underbelly, but there's interesting possibilities elsewhere.

Andor seems good. I'm sure they'll gently caress it up somehow but so far it legitimately seems like its own thing rather than yet another rehash of existing star wars stuff
