Some Desperate Glory isn't much like Babel, but I feel like it's in the same general story-space. I recommend it. But HEED THE WARNINGS, they aren't there for decoration.

Dr. Anne, PhD

The warnings: "Some Desperate Glory contains sexist, homophobic, transphobic, racist, and ableist attitudes; sexual assault, including discussion of forced pregnancy; violence; child abuse; radicalization as child abuse; genocide; suicidal ideation; and suicide."

In addition, the front cover is an accurate depiction of a good chunk of the book, IYKWIM, AITYD.
