And then one other book is the funeral detective by Jonathan Lethem who was probably my favorite author of the last decade or so.
Why people recommend it
The Arrest by Jonathan Lethem is a dystopian novel that follows a former television writer struggling to survive in a post-collapse rural Maine community after a mysterious technological catastrophe cripples modern civilization. The host on the podcast Pod Save America discussed the book during the holiday episode titled Christmas Mailbag!, which was released on December 24, 2018. During the segment, Dan Pfeiffer reflected on his reading habits over the course of the year and highlighted this novel by Jonathan Lethem, whom he praised as arguably his favorite author of the past decade or so. Although a minor slip of the tongue momentarily referred to the work differently, the host clearly endorsed Lethem's latest literary contribution as a standout read. By featuring the novel on the year-end mailbag episode, the host directed listeners toward speculative fiction that examines the fragility of modern infrastructure and the enduring complexities of human relationships in the aftermath of a global society-ending crisis.
