Can you suggest any incredible dystopian novels for me to read, pls??

[CantFindTheBeat]

I'm desperate to get engrossed in a book again.

Very little seems to interest me right now.

I love dystopian novels.

Over the years, I've loved:

Handmaids Tale
Flawed
The Road
World War Z
Brave New World

Found these ok:

Vox
Station Eleven
The Chrysalids
1984
I am legend

And loads more I can't remember!

Have you read anything along these lines that you would recommend?

The End of Men - Christina Sweeney-Baird?

I absolutely loved The Power by Naomi Alderman

After reading Vox, I then read Femlandia by the same author. I enjoyed that.

Also, Skin by Liam Brown.

I love a good dystopian novel, so I'm really place marking for more suggestions.

On the beach by neville Shute and The Girl With All The Gifts

Station 11. Purely for being a different take on the genre.

Have you read Never Let Me Go?

I really enjoyed power by Naomi Alderman and also the Wool series by Hugh Howey

Have you read any Aldous Huxley? Brave New World?

Ive not read many dystopian novels, handmaids tale obviously - but I also enjoyed Day of the Triffids - quite dated but enjoyable. Have you read any other Margaret Atwood? The Blind Assassin is another I really enjoyed, also Alias Grace which is based on a true story (not dystopian but creepy!)

The MaddAddam Trilogy Series by Margaret Atwood

Have you read Never Let Me Go?

I enjoyed We by Yevgeny Zamyatin.

Lord of the Flies.

The Fifth Season #01 of the Broken Earth trilogy by N K Jemisin. A really brilliant and unusual trilogy. Very dark indeed!

I was listening to the Backlisted podcast today (highly recommend) and one of the guys who hosts it was raving about a 1950s post-apocalyptic novel called The Death of Grass. Sounded a bit bleak for me but might be right up your street,

Station 11. Purely for being a different take on the genre in the way it’s structured.

Though I made the mistake of reading it in lockdown.

I love " how I live now " by Meg rosoff. Very easy to engage with but has some haunting scenes that stay with you.

Fahrenheit 451 (try and watch the film as well - amazing scene of burning books)
We
The Dispossessed

The Machine Stops. Very short, but spookily prescient!

Day of the triffids?
ice people?

there was another Atwood one about children who lived on top of roofs but I can’t recall the name!
