Why you love this canon and why others might want to try it:
Kings of a Dead World by Jamie Mollart is set in England in a not so distant future. One which has quite close links to what is going on in the world right now. It shows of a future where resources are scarce and it comes up with a solution to the problems caused by this. It also looks at water levels rise so it's up on the climate change. But it's also a dystopian, sci-fi esque end of the world book where you just keep reading.
The worldbuilding in this is great. Their solution to the problems are to have sleep cycles, where most of the population is asleep and hooked up to machines. They wake and go about their business as normal as if nothing was wrong and then they go back to sleep again. These are called the Sleepers.
There's also the Janitors, who get to stay awake, the become sort of like stock brokers and do all the trading of worldly goods for the Sleepers.
What's more is that there are AIs in this! Janitors get to use them.
However, there is a stark divide between the lives of the Janitors and the lives of the Sleepers.
The Janitors have it way, way better, while all the sleepers struggle to get food etc.
And this book follows Ben who is a Sleeper and Peruzzi who is a Janitor.
