Emily St. John Mandel, author of Station Eleven, has published a new novel called Exit Party, which follows characters living through two divergent near-future American scenarios: one marked by post-civil-war chaos and another by an oppressive surveillance state. She began writing it in 2022, before recent political developments like intensified ICE enforcement and expanded tech surveillance, yet the book's themes resonate strongly with current events.
