As a highlight of the article, the author recommend's Dennis Danver’s 'The Watch', which I thought had a particularly fun concept.

arguably one of the best time travel books I’ve read, drops Peter Kropotkin into 1989 Richmond, Virginia and observes as he deals with anarcho-punks, precarious labor, and race relations. The book tells a low-key and beautiful story with compelling characters, yet introduces the reader to some of the most basic of anarchist political and philosophical concepts.

And as an added bonus for Sci-fi fans specifically, Fifth Estate did a more recent article last year recommending some very interesting sounding Sci-fi, with each story having a quick synopsis of what it's about.
