I second this, but it's also why I enjoy futuristic books/science fiction in general. It may not have actually happened, but maybe someday, something like that could happen.
The Expanse series by James S.A. Corey was incredible to me because someday humanity really could colonize the solar system. And if/when we do, we will likely still face the divisions between the haves and the have-nots, and there will still be shady politics and there will still be People out there struggling with so many things that we struggle with now.
And sometimes you just need a bit of a break from fiction, too. There's nothing wrong with that, and I would recommend memoirs as they tend to have a lot of the same descriptions and engaging storylines, but they did actually happen.

Good luck, and I hope you find your mojo again!
