      Sure, but I’m not sure I remember many offhand and some have become popular since then so you may have already read them.

      Two that come to mind:

      • They’re Made Out of Meat by Terry Bison
      • When Sysadmins Ruled the Earth by Cory Doctorow

      edit: another one that came to mind, though my wife didn’t introduce me to this one, was ~~All You Zombies~~ by Robert Heinlein. I think that one has a movie adaptation called … Predestination maybe?

      One my wife did recommend to me, though I found it less impactful than she did, was [https://ia801904.us.archive.org/35/items/the-jaunt-stephen-king/The Jaunt - Stephen King.pdf](The Jaunt) by Stephen King.

      Also, though I don’t recall if I ever ended up reading it, she really liked All Summer in a Day by Ray Bradbury.

      edit 2: Not sure why the Stephen King link isn’t working. The % maybe?

      edit 3: Replaced all instances of %20 with a space. Link still didn’t work on my client. If it doesn’t work on yours, I’m afraid you’ll have to search for the story or manually copy the URL… Sorry.
