Frankenstein (Mary Shelley): moral circle expansion to a human created AI, kinda.
Elizabeth Costello (J M Coetzee): novel about a professor who gives animal rights lectures. The chapter that’s most profoundly about animal ethics was published as “The Lives of Animals” which was printed with commentary from Peter Singer (in narrative form!).
Darkness at Noon (Arthur Koestler): Novel with reflections from an imprisoned old Bolshevik, reflecting on his past revolutionary activity. Interesting reflections on ends vs. means reasoning, and on weighing considerations of moral scale / the numbers affected vs personal emotional connection in moral tradeoff scenarios.
