Picked up Judge Dredd: A Better World and it has to be one of the most powerful Dredd stories I have read - what if Mega City One introduced welfare reform?
The story is a grim reflection of law enforcement and disinformation campaigns, and ranks alongside the similarly political America storyline.

Introducing the fourth frightful roleplaying game.
The Last Voyage of the SS Demeter
System: Mothership
GM: Ben Miles
Most intergalactic long-haul jobs are the same, but this isn't most jobs. You are being paid a fortune to transport a wooden crate, but money is the least of your worries.

Introducing the second spine-tingling game Will you survive the horrors that await?
You arrive back at your crypt, but something is wrong. The stone doors stand ajar and the scent of ash hangs in the air. Who dared breach sacred ground and steal the one who gave you unlife?

If you wanted to run say, four different games that weren't Dungeons & Dragons in hopes of showing people the breadth of the TTRPG hobby, what games would you run for them? Assume that they are sort of familiar with 5E.
