Ask HN: Fiction about Introverts?
9 by webmaven | 3 comments on Hacker News.
I recently read the (rather excellent) Murderbot Diaries series and realized that it isn't just social interactions that tend to assume that people are extroverts, but that most fiction does too. I recall reading as a kid any number of mystery stories where the protagonist was shut-in for some reason (agoraphobia, for example), and misanthropes abound in anything with a hint of noir, but introverts per-se seem to be rare (which strikes me as odd, since authors are often introverts). So, any recommendations? I'm personally interested in science fiction and fantasy, but mysteries or (techno)thrillers will do as well. Not really into horror, but don't let that stop you, I'm sure others here will be interested.
