The first third of The Gods Themselves could be written now and one might interpret it as being about our approach to climate change, it's just such a great examination of the problem of negative externalities, I had to re-read the start of the middle third a bunch of times before I grokked it but when I did it I was impressed with how well he gave us a means to empathy to those characters and their point of view (after struggling to figure out what the heck I was reading!).
