Best Australian books of the 21st century: as chosen by 50 experts (theconversation.com)

We were dismayed to see no Australians on the New York Times Best Books of the 21st Century – so, with the help of 50 experts, we created our own, all-Australian list. You can have your say, too!

And even then glass onion barely feels like it stands in the list you’re trying to make because there’s plenty of crime and detective dramas that don’t focus on the super wealthy.

This is incorrect. It's a convention of the genre that an heiress/tycoon gets murdered and the detective tries to solve it, typically in a mansion.

This goes back to Agatha Christie, unlike OP was saying, but it seems pointless to deny the class bias exists. Obviously the class bias exists.

RSS is the answer to your question

RSS follow subreddits like Republic Of Music, nitter accounts, tumblrs, etc.

So I just stumbled across something called Occupation: Rainfall, which is SciFi, made in Australia, set in Australia etc etc, so it ticks a lot of boxes for me.
