​If you like Scott Alexander, I can't recommend Mania by Lionel Shriver enough.

It's the first mainstream book I've ever read with a centrist/gray tribe protagonist.

It's set in an alternative reality where the woke ideology has banned the word stupid because it's exclusionary to people who are intellectually challenged.

The author is wicked smart and if you've ever been attacked by a woke mob or had a loved one be attacked, you will feel so seen.

There is something very cathartic about having a fictional character go through what you went through. Re-experiencing it in insightful and beautiful prose is remarkably healing.
