Recipient's book tastes

I love fantasy with complex world building and character-driven scifi. But, I read pretty broadly, so I'm open to whatever you recommend!

Extras I love in fiction:

- LGBTQ characters (especially own voices!)

- Anti-capitalist & Anti-imperialist Themes

- Spanish or Spanglish dialog and/or narration (Fiebre Tropical has this and I want more like it!)

- Appendices or footnotes (for example, in A Tale for the Time Being, The Rose Code, or Tales or Neveryon)

I also love nonfiction, especially about sciences or history (or history of science!)

Other nonfiction topics I'm interested in:

- Linguistics (especially translation and constructed languages)

- Feminist Theory (especially transgender perspectives)

- Ecological/Environmental justice

- History of technology

Do not get

I'm not interested in books with explicit sexual content. I prefer romance to be a subplot, not the main driver of the story.

Also no biography/memoir, self-help, or western mythology.

Other advice/preferences

You guys are the best :)
