Top Reddit reviews mentioning Thrillers eBooks:
I'm right there with you, and so are a lot of people. I still respect him for being one to inspire young children (he's kind of the Bill Nye of this generation), but he has lost a lot of credibility in recent years.
Recently read a book - Seveneves, and I'm pretty damn sure one of the main characters is NDT.
The Atlantis Gene is the first of a 3 part series that gets more absurd and out there with every passing chapter. It's basically what would happen if Shyamalan wrote a book and attempted to include a plot twist every 3-4 chapters.
I would have to say John Dies at the End. While it's not obviously inspired by Lovecraft, after I read it the only thing I could say to describe it was 'Modern-day Lovecraftian Comedy'.
Predator is the first one, more to come

To those interested why exactly, please do yourself a HUGE favor and read this book. https://www.amazon.com/Second-After-John-Matherson-Novel-ebook/dp/B002LATV16 It has two more in the series. Best urban survival fiction story i have ever read. EMP's are fucking scary because the human nature is scary. I was recommended this book on this subreddit a while back and i thank you, whoever you are.
Tarkov Site (Buying from their site will get you the in-game content that comes with)
One Second Later by William R. Forstchen. I have a T1 son and read it before his diagnosis. Reflecting on it post-diag makes it so much scarier. https://www.amazon.com/Second-After-John-Matherson-Novel-ebook/dp/B002LATV16
Yeah, Im fully into ebooks, but the cost really is BS. I think there is some drama between publishers and amazon that always inflates the prices. Some self published authors have really cheap Ebooks (I loved this book and its sequels and they're only $3-$5 each). So there is a chance the prices may go down at some point if something changes between amazon and publishers.
I actually got into Ebooks while pirating them, so cost wasn't an issue, after awhile i got so used to the convenience of having it on my phone I couldn't go back to print. Then i had a little more spending money and decided buying them was even more convenient.

Sounds not too different than the Neil Stephenson book SEVENEVES. Blurb on Amazon has huge spoilers, so skip it if you want to discovery the story as you read it. If you liked "The Martian" for its near future sci-fi spaceflight, you will like SEVENEVES.
There's even a character in the book that reads very much like Elon Musk.
The Singularity Series by William Hertling
Was barely able to put it down. If you are interested in the possibility we are headed towards a technological singularity this is great hard scifi that paints a plausible, well thought out, and very engaging path towards it and through it.
“It took me a long time and most of the world to learn what I know about love and fate and the choices we make, but the heart of it came to me in an instant, while I was chained to a wall and being tortured.”
An escaped convict with a false passport, Lin flees maximum security prison in Australia for the teeming streets of Bombay, where he can disappear. Accompanied by his guide and faithful friend, Prabaker, the two enter the city’s hidden society of beggars and gangsters, prostitutes and holy men, soldiers and actors, and Indians and exiles from other countries, who seek in this remarkable place what they cannot find elsewhere.
As a hunted man without a home, family, or identity, Lin searches for love and meaning while running a clinic in one of the city’s poorest slums, and serving his apprenticeship in the dark arts of the Bombay mafia. The search leads him to war, prison torture, murder, and a series of enigmatic and bloody betrayals. The keys to unlock the mysteries and intrigues that bind Lin are held by two people. The first is Khader Khan: mafia godfather, criminal-philosopher-saint, and mentor to Lin in the underworld of the Golden City. The second is Karla: elusive, dangerous, and beautiful, whose passions are driven by secrets that torment her and yet give her a terrible power.
Burning slums and five-star hotels, romantic love and prison agonies, criminal wars and Bollywood films, spiritual gurus and mujaheddin guerrillas—this huge novel has the world of human experience in its reach, and a passionate love for India at its heart.
I have been on an EMP fiction kick. (Books about what happens after an EMP hits and we lose all electronics.) They are fun, and I learn things. I am learning things necessary to survive after something like this, and having fun doing it. No, they aren't true, but the writers tend to do their research.
I really enjoyed this one: One Second After by: William R. Forstchen
Not mind blowing, but a good read. ;)
They used to sell three different ones on their site, but those are now gone. I think all of them were written in Russian, but this is the first one that has been translated to English.
Shantaram by y Gregory David Roberts. This not a Peace Corps book but it is a book about a western person living at the same level of a poor Indian community, while serving to help. David Gregory Roberts calls “Shantaram” a novel, but it is strongly autobiographical, concentrating on his life in Bombay from 1981 to 1987. One of the best books I've every read.
There's a great book series called Singularity starting with Avagadro Corporation, which features an AI built to read and respond to emails that becomes sentient and escapes the lab. Should be required reading for AI developers :) https://www.amazon.com/Avogadro-Corp-Singularity-Closer-Appears-ebook/dp/B006ACIMQQ?ref_=d6k_applink_bb_dls&dplnkId=b52d1801-2532-4b08-b81e-10514d91d7ab
Interested to know this too. The first one is on Amazon but the 2nd and 3rd aren’t.
Hey I know this is an old post but I found out you can buy the kindle version of the first book on Amazon. Listed as the same author and everything. Second and third aren't on there though..
I love John Dies at the End. There are three novels so far with a fourth apparently on the way; I recommend the first novel if you want to feel disturbed.
There's also a lot of humor; but the basics of this story for me are Lovecraftian existential horror: The universe is a vast, uncaring void full of terrible things against which we are defenseless. Some of the musings in this book have kept me awake nights for the past nine years.
I love these books and I think everyone should read them; but honoring your request I'll just recommend the first novel.
FYI:
For those wanting to bunker it out, I'm afraid bunkers just aren't going to cut it! Sorry to burst your ~~bubble~~ planet!
Essentially the entire sky is literally going to be glowing insanely bright red, radiating such intense heat that will char you within a few seconds on the surface.
And then...
Not to mention plummeting oxygen levels. Not that you would want to breathe the superheated oxygen into your lungs anyways.
Not to mention how all forests on all continents of the Earth will burn down at once--all within less than 24 hours after impact.
Not to mention countless multiple, massive tidal waves.
Not to mention insane Earthquakes in many parts, that are unprecedented and off the charts in human history...
And lots of other apocalyptic fun mayhem. It's a true miracle anything survived that impactor 65 million years ago.
Again: I seriously have no clue how anything survived that. Life finds a way I guess!
Anyways, given the profound nature of this question, OP might enjoy the awesome SciFi novel:
Seveneves (By Neal Stephenson)
Seems like there's more than a few negative reviews for the novel on Amazon, but I have to say as someone who has read a HUGE whack of SciFi novels, this one absolutely ranks in my top 10 (personally speaking).

Un clásico, Neuromancer (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000O76ON6/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_BMF1B04K2MY2E20A1CNN)
Aparte puedes leer los libros de Shadowrun (cyberpunk puro), yo tengo varios y los he conseguido en español aquí en la internacional, universal y en Lehmann. También recomiendo los de Crimson Skies pero esos son más de Diesel Punk.
To the planet itself? Not much.
To a couple billion people in rural / 3rd world conditions? Not much.
To us in first-world, moderate-to-highly-urban environments? Utter catastrophe.
This is probably the scariest book I've ever read.
Kinda reminds me of the storytelling in Escape from Tarkov. If you play the game then you should read the book based in that universe, Predator: Escape from Tarkov.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07B9HZYCT?ref=KC\_GS\_GB\_US
It actually is really good and helps explain the lore of the scavs and traders in a realistic way, even quests too!
It'll be interesting to read more on the No-Pats closer to launch.

I keep getting the title wrong. It's 1 second after and here it is. Very realistic look into what we would think of as mundane things not working. https://www.amazon.com/Second-After-John-Matherson-Novel-ebook/dp/B002LATV16/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=One+Second+After&qid=1613963217&sr=8-1 Did you know you can look inside for free of the 1st chapter?
and I assume you also use the amazon.com marketplace on audible? (ie audible.com and US dollars). If that's true I would guess your settings are set up for amazon.com kindle books too, if you can buy kindle books on .com and use the whispersync feature (again it would charge you in USD).
An easy way to check is to go to amazon.ca and see if you are able to buy a kindle book. My guess is, it wont let you and say you have to go to amazon.com (obviously unless you have been changing your country settings recently).
Because yes, I am very sure that it doesnt work with an amazon.ca account. The audible.ca rep I spoke to said as much... although I guess they dont always give customers the right information.
What I found out is you can change your country settings for Kindle though, in your amazon account management. And so I just had to give it a US address and it transferred my books over without issue. And because I already had the book on audible.com (I assume) whispersync started working. In the future if I want to use whispersync I will just switch my country back to Canada to buy the kindle ebook (so I pay CAD with no conversion fees) and then switch back to use whispersync. Unfortunately I think I would be stuck paying USD on audible though, from what I can tell.
Hopefully they do implement whispersync in canada, I think its a good feature and definitely a reason for me to buy kindle ebooks over kobo. But to be honest, unless its a quality narrator/cast for the audio book, with all the hassle that it took me I will probably just stick to ebooks and using my iphone's screen reading ability to read the book to me. Its not as good as an audio book but its a lot less hassle. Until they bring the whispersync feature to canada properly anyway.

This is an equivalent to "why don't you speak?" for an introvert. Gonna give you some hard love and say just suck it up. Use your imagination. You can't go outside so the only thing you can think of... is to literally just lay in bed and sulk and sleep?
Really? Is that the best you can fucking do?
Have you ever thought of, I dunno, picking up a book? An actual good book? Not the shitty ones in high school that try to shove life lessons down your throat. I mean a book that you'd actually want to read yourself? Try this, John Dies at the End, one of my all time favorites. Best thing is you can download free samples for pretty much all eBooks on Amazon.
What about exercise at home? Start those 30 day challenges. Learn to dance, tons of YouTube videos to teach yourself Salsa.
You said you bring your laptop so you can work anywhere, and that opportunity will still be there when this passes. But think about this. Now you can whip out a book and read. Chicks dig that shit.
You said you love exploring the city. There are tons of outdoor dancing - Bryant Park for one has these dance festivals every summer. Well now you'll have a one-up knowing Salsa. And guess what, plenty of those dance events are like 2:1 girls to guys. You show up knowing Salsa and ooo lawdy.
You have 2 paths right now. You can either do something about it, in which you can come out of this stronger, or don't, in which you'll end up depressed and tearing brain matter out of your ears. I know you can do this dude, you fucking got this
It's a really good book, they also used this quote at the beginning of the movie.
Ready Player One It takes place in a bunch of places, but it's fast-paced and lots of fun.
