UPDATE: in the email version I misstated the “Broken Earth” trilogy as “Remembrance of Earth’s Past”, which is actually Cixin Liu’s excellent trilogy. I regret the error, but hey, it’s not the end of the world.
The "Breakers Series" by Edward W. Robertson. Goes all through an alien-engineered pandemic and an alien invasion and beyond. A vast series of over 15 books. Just a tremendously good read. I'm gonna start on it again!
You MUST read the Ben H Winters "Last Policeman" series- about a cop at the end of the world in New Hampshire. MUST MUST MUST.
I’ll check it out!
Have you tried “Infomocracy” or “FKAUSA”? Less serious but both interesting
I have not, I’ll have to check them out. Thanks for the suggestions!

I think I recommend this before, but if you haven't read "The Gone-Away World," you really should.
Yes, you did! I picked it up from the library but got too busy to read it before it was due back. It’s still high on my list, though.
