If you want a book that actually explored some of the ideas GO S3 brought up but did not address, I recommend Some Desperate Glory by Emily Tesh.

The main character is a young woman who has grown up in a very authoritarian system and is a True Believer in the ideas she was raised with. She lives in a small separatist community run under very strict military rules. In this world, the Earth was completely destroyed by aliens. Remaining human refugees now live on alien planets, but this small community of rebels broke off and refuses to accept peace. They live for a day when they will finish the war and avenge humanity.

Our MC has been training to be a warrior her whole life, she is one of the top of her class... and then when she comes of age they tell her "nope, sorry, we actually need to send you over to the Mothering department to have babies for the rest of your life. :)" So she flees... and then has to reexamine her world view when the facts of life in the outside world don't match the propaganda she's been taught.

This is also a world in which powerful AI were developed that are able to rewrite reality, and the MC eventually gets access to one. At which point she faces the choice: what if she rewrites reality so the Earth was never destroyed? What if she finally "wins the war" by restoring Earth and destroys all the alien homeworld planets instead?

LOTS of good stuff there about the people stuck in corrupt systems, how hard it is to unlearn propaganda... and also the way reset buttons seem like an easy solution but are rarely the right one.

A reset button—science is unable to manufacture such a thing. How right our dear Megamind is. I think he would have wished for this to be real just to battle Metroman once more, but it was already impossible.

Today, I began to reflect on how much I wish a happy moment or a hug from the people I love could last forever, but it’s just not like that. If you have someone to hug today—be it parents, siblings, children, or grandparents—hug them, because they might not be there tomorrow. If you have special or simple moments of peace today, be grateful for them, because no beautiful instant is eternal. To me, every day is a reset button: an opportunity that God gives me to live."

For the longest time, getting up to go to the bathroom after waking up from an unpleasant dream worked to reset my brain. However, in the last few months, my jerk subconscious found the "resume program" button for such things. Apparently, my brain is now a streaming service. Can't wait for commercials to get added to my plan.
