All the New Books to Read This November, From Sci-Fi Novels to Memoirs

Sarah Rose Etter's "Ripe" follows Silicon Valley tech employee Cassie, who has grown miserable in her position. She's drowning under the weight of her job's long hours and her boss's bullying, but she has worked too hard to achieve this life. As the world around her continues to decay, she finds herself pregnant with a baby whose father is an unsuitable partner and her boss making demands that could cost her everything. But in the distance, a small black hole follows Cassie, and what it's capable of, she is not entirely sure she wants to find out. Etter dives deep into the promises of capitalistic pursuits and their terrifying, if not deadly, costs.
