luzulaCold Welcome by Elizabeth Moon (2017, audiobook)
The audiobook reader is okay, though I kind of miss the full theatrical audiobooks of the previous series--they felt a bit like a blockbuster SF action movie, except you're listening instead of watching, and also most of the characters are women. As for the content, it was pretty much what I expected? I am not into the military hierarchy stuff, but I do enjoy characters being competent, and also there's winter survival stuff.
The Seneca Effect by Ugo Bardi (2017)
Another book about collapse (societal and otherwise), but the last such book I read was by an archaeologist and this one is by a chemist, and they naturally have different angles on it. Well worth reading; here is an introduction by the author if you're curious.
